Worshippers foil Nigeria churchbomb attempt

Nigerian police said worshippers on
Sunday helped foil an attempt to
bomb a church in the northern Bauchi
State, a common site of clashes
between Muslims and Christians.

Bauchi State police commissioner
Mohammed Abdulkadir Indabawa
said an unidentified man
masquerading as a worshipper left a
laptop bag containing a remote-
controlled homemade bomb in a
Methodist church in Bauchi city.
Churchgoers became suspicious when
the man walked out leaving the bag
on a bench.
"Worshippers tried to stop the
(would-be) attacker from leaving the
church when they realised he had
dropped the bag on a bench,"
Indabawa told AFP. "But he took to
his heels and joined a motorcyclist
waiting for him outside the church
and escaped."
A police bomb squad defused the
explosive, which was a "contraption
of aluminium shreds, ammonia
fertiliser and mobile-phone
batteries," he said.
No arrests had been made.
Sectarian unrest between
predominant Muslims and Christian
minorities is common in Bauchi and
Jos, its neighbour in Nigeria's
central Plateau State.
Suspected members of an Islamist
sect Boko Haram that launched an
uprising in 2009 attacked a prison
in Bauchi city last September,
freeing more than 700 inmates.
The group also claimed
responsibility for a series of
Christmas Eve bomb blasts, including
in churches in the central city of Jos
that killed dozens. May god help us in cucg
