JOS, Nigeria — A suicide bomber blew his car up outside a church and gunmen opened fire on another service in Nigeria on Sunday, killing three people and wounding dozens in attacks claimed by Boko Haram.
The assaults were the latest in a series targeting churches in Africa's most populous nation and largest oil producer, with many of the previous attacks also claimed by the Islamist group, whose insurgency has killed more than 1,000 people since mid-2009.
A purported spokesman for Boko Haram claimed responsibility for Sunday's attacks and threatened further violence.

Some nasty religious sectarianism in Nigeria...six people have already been killed in reprisal attacks, according to a report on the BBC that I heard today.
