Car bombs kill 7, mar Nigeria 50th ceremony
Two car bombs exploded Friday as Nigeria celebrated its 50th independence anniversary, killing at least seven people and wounding 38 others in an unprecedented attack on the nation's capital by militants from the oil-rich southern delta region.
The attacks claimed by the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta came as the President Goodluck Jonathan and other dignitaries sat only a 10-minute walk away. (AP)
