At least 71 people died in a bomb blast at a bus station in rush hour traffic in Abuja this morning in the worst-ever attack to strike Nigeria’s capital. President Goodluck Jonathan, who visited the scene, blamed the Islamist militant group Boko Haram for the car bomb that exploded at about 6:55 a.m. local time in Nyanya district, about nine kilometers (5.6 miles) from the city center. At least 124 people were injured, 16 buses destroyed and 24 other vehicles damaged, police spokesman Frank Mba told reporters at the site. Witnesses said as many as 200 people were killed. bloomberg/news/2014-04-14/police-report-blast-at-bus-station-in-nigerian-capital-city.html
