Suicide bombers kill 8-yr-old, 10 others in Jos church

An eight-year-old boy and 10 others were  killed on Sunday when suicide bombers attacked St. Finbarr’s Catholic Church, Rayfield, Jos, Plateau State.

One of the bombers died in the blast while another, who barely survived, was mobbed and killed by an irate crowd at the church  where a former Deputy Governor of the state, Mrs. Pauline Tallen, worships.

The church’s security team were said to have recorded the highest number of casualties. Yesterday’s attack came barely two weeks after suicide bombers had attacked the headquarters of the Church of Christ in Nigeria, where the state Governor,  Jonah Jang, worships.
