Three explosions rocked the city of Jos in central Nigeria

Three explosions rocked the city of Jos in
central Nigeria on Tuesday, two local journalists said.
The blasts caused casualties, but it was not
immediately clear how many.
A journalist on the scene of the first explosion called it
"massive." People were screaming and running, some
covered in blood. Some had to be carried away, the
journalist said.
The first blast was a bomb detonated at the Terminus
market, where food and clothes are sold, the journalists
said. The second blast was at the same
market and could have been a bomb or gas
canister ignited by the first bomb.
The third explosion was at Abuja market,
which sells shoes, the journalists said.
When CNN tried to speak with a nurse at a
local hospital by phone, she was unable to
hear because of victims' cries and screams.
Late Sunday, a bomb in the northern
Nigerian city of Kano killed at least four
people, according to local police.
The blast occurred at a busy intersection in
a predominantly Christian area of the city
and left several cars burning, Kano police
spokesman Rabilu Ringim said. It was not
immediately clear who was responsible for
the attack, the spokesman said.
Terrorism in Nigeria has been in the spotlight
recently since more than 200 schoolgirls
were kidnapped by the militant group Boko
Haram.
The terror group abducted 276 girls on April 14 from a
boarding school in Chibok in northeastern Nigeria.
Dozens escaped, but more than 200 girls are still
missing.
