Church blast kills 10 in Nigeria

A bomb blast struck a Catholic church in the volatile central Nigerian city of Jos yesterday, causing numerous casualties, witnesses and the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) said.
A Reuters reporter on the scene said 10 people were killed in the attack.
Islamist sect Boko Haram has claimed responsibility for a wave of bombings against churches, raising fears they are trying to ignite sectarian conflict in Africa's most populous country, split roughly evenly between Christians and Muslims.
Jos has been plagued by ethnic and sectarian conflict in the past decade.
On February 26 a suicide bomber drove a car packed with explosives into a church in Jos, killing two people and wounding 38. Christian youths beat two Muslims to death in revenge.
