At least 118 people were killed Tuesday in twin blasts at a market in the central Nigerian city of Jos, emergency services said, in an attack that appeared to bear the hallmarks of the Boko Haram insurgents. The explosions, which targeted Terminus market, went off some 30 minutes apart, setting fire to the entire venue.

The militant group Boko Haram, which has set off bombs across the north and center of Nigeria in an increasingly bloody campaign for an Islamic state, was suspected in what is considered one of their deadliest attack. The Islamist group caused global outrage when it abducted nearly 300 schoolgirls on April 14 from the northeastern village of Chibok and has held them hostage since.
