Two blasts in the central Nigerian city of Jos have killed at least 118 people.

The terror attack designed to target the maximum number of victims has all the hallmarks of Boko Haram that operated in the city before.

The car bombs were detained minutes apart in a marketplace crowded with traders and their customers and outside a hospital.

Body parts were strewn over the areas and authorities fear more dead may be buried under the rubble.

Boko Haram’s struck in Jos before, attacking churches in a strategy designed to set Muslims against Christians.

President Goodluck Jonathan’s condemned the attack.

But his security forces appear unable to curb the terrorist still holding nearly 300 teenage girls abducted from their school five weeks ago.
