Car Bomb Detonates in Nigeria

     On Sunday morning, a suicide car bomber detonated the explosives in his car on a busy road. The explosive killed at least 38 people. The reason for the explosion revolves around religious, ethnic and political violence in the nation.
     The explosion hit Kaduna, the capital of Kaduna state. It left charred motorcycles and debris all across a major road. Nearby buildings had windows blown out and roofs torn apart. It also damaged the nearby All Nations Christian Assembly Church and the ECWA Good News Church while people were there worshiping on Easter Sunday.
     No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack but many suspected a radical Islamic sect that's been responsible for hundreds of killings. This invokes fear because of the turmoil revolving around a region on that's the dividing line between Nigeria's Christian south and Muslim north.
