DEVELOPING STORY: Explosion rocks church in Nigeria

Lagos, Nigeria (PANA) - Explosion rocked a church in Zaria, in Nigeria's northern state of Kaduna, during service on Sunday, in the latest of such attacks that now seem to occur every Sunday, eyewitnesses said.

There are yet no details on the cause of the explosion, casualty and motive.

Unconfirmed reports said more than one church was affected in the blast.

Last Sunday, many people died when two churches were attacked, one in the central city of Jos by a suicide bomber and another in the northern town of Biu by four gunmen.

The Islamic sect Boko Haram later claimed responsibility for the attacks.
