Bomb blasts hit northern Nigeria

[Little Tich]

Three bomb blasts hit the northern Nigerian cities of Maiduguri and Damaturu just days after the areas were placed under a state of emergency, the military and witnesses said.

No casualties were immediately reported after the attacks, claimed by the Islamist sect Boko Haram, as its ultimatum expired for Christians living in the mainly Muslim north to move south.

Two civilians were shot dead in a separate incident, a hospital source said.

The attacks were the first incidents in the area since President Goodluck Jonathan declared a state of emergency last weekend in parts of the country hard hit by Boko Haram.
