Nigeria: Citizens take action against internal terrorism

The violent chain of events in Nigeria since the country's presidential election, which brought President Goodluck Jonathan back to power, has ... alarmed many Nigerians. Several people lost their lives on Thursday June 16, 2011, after a suicide bomber triggered an explosion that ripped through Nigeria's capital, Abuja, in the latest streak of violent attacks by Boko Haram, a northern Islamic outfit. The explosion set several cars on fire and covered the city's skyline with a thick black smoke.
