Two blasts have hit a crowded bus station on the outskirts of Nigeria's capital, killing at least 71 people and injuring more than a hundred. The explosions went off during morning rush hour in a satellite town near Abuja. No one has claimed responsibilty for the attack but suspicion is likely to fall on the armed grroup Boko Haram. It's been using a series of violent attacks to push for an Islamic state in the north east of Nigeria. Al Jazeera's Yvonne Ndege reports from Abuja.
