A suicide bomber yesterday killed 15 Christians and injured 150 at Saint Rita’s Catholic Church in Malali.
90% of the victims were children.
All Africa reported, via Religion of Peace:
Kaduna State was yesterday thrown into another round of pandemonium following a suicide bomb blast that rocked the Saint Rita’s Catholic Church at Ungwa Yero in Malali, Kaduna North LGA. The church has a capacity to accommodate over 1,000 worshipers.
The blast, which affected mostly women and children, killed at least 15 people and severely injured about150 including the parish priest, Rev. Fr. Bonet Micah.
The victims were rushed to several hospitals within the Kaduna metropolis. Although details of the numbers could not be ascertained officially, our correspondents gathered that three dead bodies and 35 injured persons were taken to 44 Army Reference Hospital, four bodies and over 88 injured persons were taken to Barau Dikko Specialist Hospital, 14 injured persons were taken to Saint Gerard Catholic Hospital, one dead body and 14 injured persons were taken to Garkuwa Hospital, three injured persons were taken to Giwa Hospital, and two injured persons were taken to Yusuf Dantsoho Hospital…
…The Catholic Archbishop of Kaduna Diocese, His Grace Bishop Matthew Man-Ndagoso, visited the Saint Gerard Catholic Hospital where he expressed his displeasure. The bishop said: “I feel more pained in my heart over this unfortunate incident as 90 per cent of the victims are children. We pray for their quick recovery and fortitude to bear the loss of those who died in the process. My appeal is to the Christians, especially the Catholic youths, not to consider reprisal as an option as this will rather create more tension and add to the already bad situation”.

Freddy commented:
Why do people still pretend that the civilized world is not at war with the islamic world? Clearly, they are attacking at every opportunity.
Until we recognize that muslims are both actively and passivly supporting this war, and demand that hey take responsibility for these actions, the attacks will continue.
bobdog commented:
When the answer to every question in the Muslim world is “Death”, it kinda detracts from their “Religion of peace” bumper sticker, doesn’t it?
One would think they would have figured that one out by now, but I guess I’m just an optimist.
