Sectarian violence sparked by a deepening rift between Nigeria's Muslims and Christians has killed...
The 2011 Christmas Day attacks in Madalla, Suleja District, Nigeria, killed more than 30 people as they filed out of St. Theresa Catholic Church after mass. The Islamist militant group Boko Haram, which claimed responsibility for the attack, also set off four other bombs elsewhere in the country, but the blast in Madalla, located about 25 miles from the capital city of Abuja, was the deadliest that day. In the surrounding neighborhood several Nigerian homes sustained massive damages. The collapsed roofs and fragile structures forced many families to pack their belongings and move away.
