Update on Kano,Nigeria bomb explosion yesterday




We brought you a story on the bomb explosion in Nigeria yesterday. Here is an update on the story.
More than 190 people have been killed and 250 wounded in yesterday’s bomb explosion in Nigeria’s largest city of Kano as Muslim faithfuls gathered for Friday Jummat prayers.
Two suicide bombers detonated explosives strapped to their bodies while three gunmen that arrived in a Toyota Sienna van armed with AK-47 assault rifles opened fire sporadically at the congregation who were trying to escape. 
Angry mob ran after the gun men and eventually subdued and killed them. The Emir was not in the mosque at the time of the explosion but was in Saudi Arabia on a pilgrimage.
