The U.S. expressed its condemnation of multiple bomb attacks in Kano, in northeastern Nigeria, where at least 120 have died and hundreds of others have been injured. "The United States condemns in the strongest terms today's horrendous attack on worshippers at the Central Mosque in Kano and recent attacks on innocent civilians in northeastern Nigeria. We extend our deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of the individuals killed and injured," State Department Spokesperson Jen Psaki said in a statement, late on Friday. "These attacks, while as yet unclaimed, have all of the hallmarks of Boko Haram and the group's disregard for human life as it continues in its efforts to destabilize Nigeria," she added. Psaki further affirmed that the Obama Administration "stands with the Nigerian people in their struggle against violent extremism and the threat of terrorism and affirms our ongoing commitment to work with all Nigerians to combat these atrocities."
