Bomb Kills Would-Be Bombers In Central Nigeria
Sectarian civil war and terrorism continues on the Jos Plateau
Police in central Nigeria say two men were killed Sunday when a bomb they were carrying on a motorcycle exploded prematurely.
Plateau state police commissioner Abdulrahman Akano told reporters that the bomb went off as the men drove through the city of Jos, a scene of frequent Muslim-Christian violence.
Akano says the two men were killed by the blast. He says Christian youths who believed the men had planned to attack their community then set fire to the corpses.
