"奈及利亞公車站爆炸事件造成71死"

71人在公車站的兩次爆炸中喪生，還有數十人受傷，此次爆炸事件似乎為博科聖地組織策劃的攻擊之一，自2009年以來，他們已經在奈及利亞的北部和中部殺害了數千人。博科聖地組織今年造成的暴力事件已經奪走了1500條以上的人命，大多事件都發生在東北偏遠地區。

這次攻擊發生在一大早，在奈及利亞首都市郊通勤的人們從Nyanya站前往工作地點的時候，Nyanya站在阿布加以南五公里處左右。這塊區域滿是公務員和一般勞工，明顯在他們排隊等候前往首都的時候被當成目標。

這起爆炸案留下了1.2公尺深的洞，並造成個人物品還有遺體四散各處。目擊者Yakubu Mohammed表示：「我看到屍體被一輛輛貨車載走」

目前仍不清楚爆炸的起源為何，不過一名來自奈及利亞國家緊急管理局的官員說其中一起爆炸似乎「從一輛車子而起」，而一名目擊者則表示他認為最初的爆炸起源於一台停在較大型通勤車旁邊的小巴士。

(International) 71 Killed In Nigerian Bus Station Blast

71 people were killed and dozens wounded recently during twin blasts at a bus station as part of an attack apparently led by Boko Haram Islamists, who have killed thousands in northern and central Nigeria since 2009. Violence caused by Boko Haram has taken the lives of more than 1,500 people in Nigeria already this year, with most incidents taking place in remote northeastern areas.

The attack took place during the early morning as commuters on the outskirts of Nigerias capital headed to work from the Nyanya station, an approximate 5 km south of Abuja. The area is filled with government and civil society workers, who were apparently targeted as they lined up for their morning commute into the capital.

The explosion left a 1.2 m deep hole, scattering personal items and human remains. One witness, Yakubu Mohammed, stated, I saw bodies taken away in trucks.

The source of the explosion is currently undetermined, although an official from Nigerias National Emergency Management Agency stated it appears that one of the blasts emanated from a vehicle, and one witness stated that he believed the initial blast came from a minibus parked near larger commuter vehicles.
