Bomb blast at UN offices in Abuja, Nigeria

What is becoming of this world, I was beside myself yesterday morning when I heard of the bomb blast in Abuja. Suicide bomber in Nigeria....but why Lord why! The United Nations Building in Abuja came under a massive bomb attack when a suicide bomber rammed the building with his car, yesterday morning, killing at least 25 people and injuring over 40. As at 2.35 pm, a total 14 dead had been recorded: 8 corpses had been counted at the National Hospital Mortuary and another 6 at the Garki Hospital Morgue. The Nigerian Islamist group known as Boko Haram has said it was behind the suicide car bombing. I watched the news today and all I saw was terror, murder, catastrophe and sorrow...Nowhere is safe, it’s only the grace of God that keeps us all!
