ABC News (Australia): At least 44 killed, 47 injured in twin bomb blasts in central Nigerian city Jos: relief agency

At least 44 people have been killed in twin bomb blasts in the central Nigerian city of Jos, the country's main relief agency says, after a bloody week of violence blamed on Boko Haram.

"At the moment we have 44 dead bodies and 47 others injured from the scenes of the two attacks," Mohammed Abdulsalam, from the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), said.

Earlier, police in Plateau state, of which Jos is the capital, said at least 18 people had lost their lives in Sunday night's attacks at a shopping complex and a site near a popular mosque.
