Associated Press

KANO, Nigeria (AP) — Police say 35 people were killed when multiple explosions tore through the central mosque in Nigeria’s second-largest city.

State Deputy police commissioner Sanusi Lemu said 150 others also sustained various degrees of injuries in the blasts Friday in the city Kano.

Hundreds had gathered to listen to a sermon in a region terrorized by attacks from the militant group Boko Haram.
