Explosion hits UN building in Nigeria's capital

A large explosion struck a United Nations building in Nigeria's capital of Abuja on Friday, with one complete wing of the building leveled by the blast, witnesses said. A UN official in Geneva called it a bomb attack.

Witnesses told The Associated Press on Friday that the blast happened just before 11 am in the same neighborhood as the US Embassy and other diplomatic posts in Nigeria's capital. They say many are feared dead. (AP)
