'Over 20 Feared Dead' After Bomb Blast At World Cup Viewing Center in Yobe

Football is suppose to bring peace and unity to the world, but this is something Boko-Haram or whoever is responsible for this latest bombing does not understand.

 An explosion late Tuesday ripped through a soccer viewing center showing a World Cup match in northeastern Nigeria, police and residents said.
The incident occurred in the outskirts of Damaturu, the sources said. The explosive had been concealed in an abandoned motorized rickshaw outside the center. People were watching the Brazil-Mexico match.
"Our men have deployed to the scene but it's too early for us to give details, said Yobe state police commissioner Sanusi Ruf'ai.

Volatile northeastern Nigeria is the home of the notorious Boko Haram group, the militant Islamists who abducted scores of schoolgirls in April and are yet to be found or released. Boko-Haram are responsible for a number of recent bombings in the Northern part of Nigeria.
