Twin blasts hit Nigerian city Jos, kill about 20
None
Twin explosions rocked downtown Jos, in central Nigeria, on Thursday and killed about 20 people, witnesses said.
The blasts occurred as store owners were shutting their shops and Muslims were preparing for prayers Thursday evening.
Witnesses said one blast went off at an outdoor food stand and the other at a nearby marketplace in the center of the city. They spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals.
In May, twin car bombs in the Jos marketplace killed at least 130 people.
Those attacks were blamed on Islamic extremists from the Boko Haram group.
