Dozens Killed in Attack on Nigerian Mosque

Dozens of people have died in multiple attack on the Central Mosque in Kano. Some reports suggest the death toll could be as high as 200 but police are so far reporting fewer than 100. The attack came after the Emir of Kano had called on Nigerians to take up arms to defend themselves against Boko Haram.
