Suicide Bomber Hits Shia Muslim Procession in Northeast Nigeria: Organisers

Kano, Nigeria: A suicide bomber today blew himself up among crowds in a Shia Muslim procession outside the northeast Nigerian city of Kano, organisers told AFP.

"It's a huge crowd so it's too early to give a precise figure of casualties," one of the organisers said of the blast in the village of Dakasoye, some 20 kilometres (13 miles) south of the city.
