Nigerian twin bomb explosions kill dozens in Jos

A recent twin bombing in Jos, Nigeria killed at least 46 people and injured many more. The bombs exploded in a market and also in a bus terminal, both part of the commercial center of the city. No group has confessed to the attack, but Islamist terrorist group Boko Haram is suspected. The city of Jos lies on the very volatile border between the Muslim north and the Christian south of Nigeria. This makes it much more susceptible to attacks. Boko Haram has been known to try to spark conflict between the two religious groups, trying to make an entirely Islamic state. Until this attack, Jos has remained fairly peaceful for about two year despite some threats from Boko Haram. Boko Haram is still under investigation for the disappearance of 200 schoolgirls from a boarding school, and they have killed more than 1,000 Nigerians in the past year.

Clip suspected in circus accident; 8 hospitalized

Just yesterday, a terrible circus accident led to the serious injury of 8 acrobats at the Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey circus. The acrobats were performing a hair acrobatic endeavor where they swing from an apparatus with their hair. They fell very shortly into their routine with the apparatus falling on top of them with around 3,900 spectators, many of them being children. After investigators examined the seen, they found a carabiner broken into three pieces among the wreck. The carabiner was rated at 10,000 pounds, and the acrobats were only about 1,500 pounds. It is a mystery how it happened, but it ended up severely injuring four of the eight acrobats. One acrobat broke both ankles and pierced their liver with their ribs, while another suffered intense neck and back fractures. The performers were moved into critical condition care and are being monitored closely.
