Dec 25, 2011  – Christmas Bomb Blast: President Obama Sympathizes with Nigerians

The President of the United States of American, Barack Obama has condemned what he called a “senseless” Christmas terrorist attack in Nigeria.

In a statement, the White House also offered its condolences to the Nigerian people, especially the families of at least 39 people killed Sunday. The majority died on the steps of a Catholic church after celebrating Mass, part of an apparently coordinated assault by a radical Muslim sect.

The White House said U.S. officials have been in contact with their counterparts in Nigeria and pledged to assist them in bringing those responsible to justice.
