Insurgents Kill 8 as Nigeria Celebrates Independence

‘There is nothing worth celebrating’ says the militant group, the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, who claimed responsibility for two car explosions that killed eight people and rattled the official ceremony of the Nigeria’s 50th Independence Anniversary in Abuja on Friday, Oct.1st. The terrorist style attack shocked Nigerians and the international community and sent a clear signal to President Goodluck Jonathan who is running for re-election next year.
