                  Multiple Explosions Hit Nigeria's Maiduguri

   by VOA News

   Witnesses in northern Nigeria said at least four explosions happened
   late Sunday in Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state where Islamist
   Boko Haram militants remain active.

   There were no immediate reports of casualties from the blasts.

   Witnesses said two of them happened minutes apart at separate mosques
   in the city as people took part in their final prayers of the day.

   Other explosions were reported at markets in Maiduguri.

   No group claimed responsibility for the attacks, but Boko Haram has
   repeatedly used bombings since launching its insurgency in 2009.

   Boko Haram, which recently pledged allegiance to the militant group
   Islamic State, has killed more than 10,000 Nigerians as part of a
   campaign to impose Islamic rule on northern Nigeria.
