A bomb blast broke out in the United Nations office in Nigerian capital of Abuja on Friday as a car crashed into the building and witnesses said that they saw a number of bodies being carried away from the site.
As per the reports of an anonymous medical officer, he witnessed 10 dead bodies and more from the site.
One security force in Abuja expressed their suspension in the attack either by Boko Haram, a Nigerian radical Islamist sect, or the North African arm of Al-Qaeda. They also stated that Boko Haram's attacks are growing in greater intensity and spreading further afield.
The UN buidling was blacked from top to the bottom and the remains of a car had fallen into the basement. Soldires, firefighters and rescue workers clouded the area.
The security sources said that a car rammed into the building and was exploded. This is either a work of Boko Haram or Al-Qaeda and is a serious escalation in the security situation of Nigeria.
