UN HOUSE ABUJA BOMBING

The shocking news came in that at about 10:30 am this morning, the building housing the United Nations offices in the Nigerian capital, Abuja, was attacked by a lone suicide bomber using a car laden with explosives. The reports say that the attacker rammed through the two gates leading into the compound and detonated two bombs at the foot of the building seriously damaging it and killing several people. Last death toll was put at 18 with 60 others hospitalized. no one has claimed responsibility yet.
What a sad day for Nigeria and the world at large. My sympathies go the injured and the relatives of the dead.
