ABUJA, Nigeria — Police say blast at busy bus station in Nigerian capital kills at least 71 people, wounds 124 .
The explosion took place before 7 a.m. Monday as people were traveling to work.
Reporters saw rescue workers and police gathering body parts and ambulances rushing the wounded to the hospital.
Suspicion immediately fell on the Boko Haram terrorist network that has been threatening to attack the capital, in the middle of the country and hundreds of miles from its traditional base in the northeast, where it has killed nearly 1,500 people this year. The militants’ violent campaign poses the greatest threat to the cohesion and security of Africa’s biggest oil producer as the country prepares for elections in February 2015.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
