Christmas Mass In Nigeria Rocked By Terrorist Bombing -- L.A. Times
REPORTING FROM JOHANNESBURG -- A bomb blast during Christmas Mass left 35 people dead and dozens wounded at a Nigerian church near the nation’s capital of Abuja.
The radical Muslim sect Boko Haram claimed responsibility for both the Abuja-area explosion, which left bodies on rooftops and in nearby gutters, as well as a bombing near a church in Jos, in which one police officer was killed. In all, at least 39 people were killed Sunday during ongoing sectarian violence in Nigeria, which also included at least three explosions in Yobe, an agricultural state in the country’s northeast that has often been at the heart of fighting between security forces and Boko Haram.

My Comment: There is going to be blow-back for today`s atrocities. Nigeria`s sectarian violence can only escalate, a prospect that the terror group Boko Haram is probably relishing for right now.
