Nigerian car bomb destroys Christian Church kills 38

A car bomb has exploded along a busy roadway in a central Nigerian city, destroying a Christan Church and killing at least 38 people in the latest attack on a region beset by religious, ethnic and political violence, an official says.
The blast struck Kaduna, the capital of Kaduna state, leaving charred motorcycles and debris strewn across a major road in the city where many gather to eat at informal restaurants and buy black market petrol.
Nearby hotels had their windows blown out on Sunday morning by the force of the powerful explosion, which engulfed a group of motorcycle taximen.
At least 38 people were killed in the blast, said Abubakar Zakari Adamu, a spokesman for the Kaduna state Emergency Management Agency. Others suffered serious injuries and were receiving treatment at local hospitals, Adamu said.
The explosion destroyed the nearby All Nations Christian Assembly Church as churchgoers worshipped at an Easter service, the possible target of the bomber. Witnesses said it appeared the explosive-laden car attempted to go into the compound of that church before it detonated.
