Nigeria: Deadly blast targets rally near Abuja

A bomb has exploded during a political meeting near the Nigerian capital Abuja, killing at least three people, police say. The blast happened during a rally for the governing People's Democratic Party (PDP) in Suleja, about 40km (24 miles) from Abuja, officials say. National elections are due to be held in Nigeria next month.

Central Nigeria has seen a recent upsurge in violence between rival ethnic, religious and political groups. The device - thrown from a vehicle - missed the centre of the rally but landed close to a market, national police spokesman Olusola Amore said.

"Three people were killed on the spot and 21 wounded," Mr Amore

Oh oh, könnte vielleicht den nächsten interreligiösen Krawall einleiten...
