Nigeria experienced another deadly terror attack Monday. Police said a bombing killed at least 71 people at a bus station close to the capital, Abuja. Experts say the most recent attack appears to be a sign that the Islamist rebels of Boko Haram have expanded their operations in Nigeria.
Taxi driver Joseph Suleiman was driving into Abuja shortly before 7 oclock in the morning, local time, when the bomb exploded.
We were inside the car. We heard the bomb blast and my car was shaking. Everybody, we were totally confused.
Abuja, Nigerias capital, has not had a bomb attack in two years. At that time, Boko Haram targeted a media group killing several people. In , more than 60 people were killed in Abuja in attacks that targeted the local United Nations headquarters and a Christian church.
Mr. Sulieman says he saw many badly injured people as he passed a bus station. He said people in the area told him that Boko Haram had exploded a car bomb.
