Abuja bus station bombed in rush hour,death toll 35

At least 35 believed killed in bus station bombing during rush
hour in the capital Abuja, with toll expected to rise.
A blast at a bus depot on the outskirts of the Nigerian
capital Abuja has killed dozens of people during the morning
rush hour .
The blast , around 7 am at the Nyanya Motor Park , destroyed
more than 30 vehicles and caused secondary explosions as
their fuel tanks exploded and burned.
Reporters saw rescue workers and police gathering body
parts.
"We have been able to bring some of the dead to the
morgue and some injured have been taken to the hospital ,"
said Charles Otegbade, head of search and rescue at the
National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) .
He said his team had not yet been able to provide precise
figures on casualties .
A Reuters camerman reported seeing 20 bodies at the depot
at Nyanyan bridge, around 8 km south of Abuja, and two
witnesses said another 15 had already been removed by the
emergency services.
"I was waiting to get on a bus when I heard a deafening
explosion then smoke . People were running around in
panic ," said Mimi Daniels, who works in Abuja. Another blast
followed , she said , according to Reuters news agency.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility but
suspicion is likely to fall on armed group Boko Haram . The
group has been involved in increasing levels of violence in
the northeast .
Suspected Boko Haram members killed at least 60 people in
an attack on a village in northeast Nigeria late last week.
Eight people were killed in a separate attack at a teacher
training college, witnesses said .
