Mosque bomb attack kills 20 in Nigeria

 


At least 20 people are reported to have been killed in bomb blasts in the north-east Nigerian town of Mubi.

Police said they suspect the Islamist group Boko Haram of being behind the attacks.

One of the explosions was inside a mosque as Muslims were preparing for afternoon prayers.

Boko Haram has waged a campaign of violence to try to create an Islamic state in the north of Nigeria since 2009.

The violence has killed about 20,000 people and displaced more than two million.
