22 people were killed and 65 were wounded in north Nigeria Tuesday when two suicide bombers rammed their car into a bus station, police said Tuesday.
The attack on Monday in Kano, the largest city in Nigeria's north, led to a huge explosion that hit five buses, AFP quoted police spokesman Magaji Majia.
Witnesses spoke of hearing multiple blasts and said they saw wounded victims in bloodied clothes fleeing the area as authorities cordoned off the scene.
President Goodluck Jonathan condemned the attack and said his government would continue "its unrelenting war against terrorists".
"Two suicide bombers rammed their Volkswagen Golf car into a luxury bus loaded with passengers about to leave for the south. This led to an explosion that engulfed the bus and four other buses lined up waiting for passengers," Majia told AFP.
