"聖誕爆炸事件震撼奈及利亞"

世界領袖聯合譴責這起恐怖攻擊。

聖誕節當天奈及利亞受到一連串炸彈爆炸的震撼。靠近首都阿布賈的馬德拉，一顆炸彈在教堂外爆炸，造成35人死亡，另外有50人受傷。另一顆位於荷斯市的炸彈造成一名警員喪命，還有一起在達馬杜魯市的爆炸事件殺死了四個人。

一名博科聖地的發言人Abul-Qaqa說，該組織應該要為這起攻擊負責。這個組織的名稱意為「禁止西方教育」，它的鬥士想要看到全國實施伊斯蘭教法。他們近來和安全部隊發生嚴重衝突，先前也在阿布賈的聯合國基地進行自殺攻擊，造成20人死亡。

奈及利亞總統喬納森強力譴責這起攻擊。他形容它們是對「我們集體安全和行動自由的無端侮辱。」世界領袖也都群起加入譴責。一名白宮的發言人說，「我們譴責聖誕節當日這樣毫無意義的暴力和不幸的生命損失。」法國總統薩柯奇談及「和奈及利亞團結以對抗恐怖主義。」英國外交大臣威廉黑格說，「對於在和平與祈禱中齊聚一堂的家庭，這些攻擊十分卑劣，它們是為了慶祝這個象徵和諧與善待他人的節日。」

(International) Bomb Blasts Shake Nigeria on Christmas Day

World leaders united in condemning the terrorist attacks.

Nigeria was shaken on Christmas Day by a series of bomb explosions. In Madalla, near the capital city of Abuja, a bomb went off outside a church, killing 35 people and leaving another 50 injured. Another bomb in Jos left a policeman dead, and a further explosion killed four people in Damaturu.

Abul-Qaqa, a spokesman for Boko Haram, said that the group was responsible for the attacks. The groups name means Western education is forbidden, and its fighters want to see Sharia law imposed in the country. They have clashed heavily with security forces recently and have previously conducted a suicide attack on the UN base in Abuja that left 20 dead.

Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan condemned the attacks. He described them as an unwarranted affront on our collective safety and freedom. World leaders joined in the condemnation. A White House spokesman said, We condemn this senseless violence and tragic loss of life on Christmas Day. French President Nicolas Sarkozy talked of his solidarity with Nigeria in the fight against terrorism. And British Foreign Secretary William Hague said: These are cowardly attacks on families gathered in peace and prayer to celebrate a day which symbolizes harmony and goodwill towards others.
