Description | At least 200 people were killed and 270+ others wounded when two suicide bombers detonated themselves and gunmen opened fire during weekly prayers at the mosque of one of Nigeria's top Islamic leaders. The mosque is attached to the palace of the Emir of Kano Muhammad Sanusi II, Nigeria's second most senior Muslim cleric, who last week urged civilians to take up arms against Boko Haram - the group is suspected here. The fatality count is expected to rise. |
