KADUNA, Nigeria April 8 (Reuters) – A car bomb exploded in
the north Nigerian town of Kaduna on Easter Sunday, killing 16
people and wounding 35, the police and emergency services said.
The car was being pursued by police as it headed towards a
church when it crashed and exploded, the police and witnesses
said.
No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack,
but the apparent targeting of a Christian place of worship will
stir memories of a string of deadly assaults carried out by
Islamist militants Boko Haram on Christmas Day last year.
