A double bombing during
Friday prayers at one of Nigeria's most prominent mosques killed at
least 64 people and injured another 126, a rescue official told AFP.
The
official, who requested anonymity as he was not authorised to speak to
media, said 64 bodies had been brought to just one Kano area hospital
after the attack at the city's central mosque, and the wounded figure
reflected statistics from three hospitals.
"Those figures are going to climb," he told AFP.
