Post by: Time on Apr 14, 2014, 09:31 AM
At least two explosions rocked a bus station near the Nigerian capital of Abuja during rush hour on Monday, killing many commuters at the crowded transport hub, according to Reuters.

A cameraman working for the agency counted 20 dead bodies at the bus station, while witnesses at the scene said that more than a dozen bodies had already been moved.

"I was waiting to get on a bus when I heard a deafening explosion then smoke. People were running around in panic," eyewitness Mimi Daniels told Reuters.

There has been no confirmation on what may have caused the blasts.
