KABUL: (Middle East Press) At least 24 people were killed and dozens injured after suicide bombers have struck two bus stations in different parts of northern Nigeria. Officials say.
In the first explosion, a suicide bomber rushed onto a bus in the town of Potiskum before setting off a blast that killed at least 12 people and injured more than 20 others.
An eyewitness Waziri Danu told reporters that he was at a carwash nearby when he heard a huge explosion and saw fire and smoke coming from the motor park.
In the second attack, two suicide bombers launched a coordinated attack on a major bus station in the city of Kano, leaving at least 12 people dead and injured many more, police spokesman Ibrahim Idris said.
The explosions triggered fires that destroyed two buses and a car, Idris said.
The dead bodies and injures were rushed to the nearby hospitals, said Idris and that no one has claimed responsibility behind the bombings so far.
