Less than 48 hours after bomb explosions rocked the
ancient Kano City in northern Nigeria on Friday ,
Catholic Pope Francis has condemned the deadly
attacks.
Speaking on the final day of his trip to Turkey on
Sunday, the Catholic Pope described the bomb attacks
as an “extremely serious sin against God”.
According to reports, at least 120 people were killed and
270 others wounded when two suicide bombers blew
themselves up and gunmen opened fire during weekly
prayers on Friday at the Grand Mosque in Kano.
The comment from the Pope is coming after he was
took part in a Muslim prayer with the Grand Mufti of
Istanbul on his second leg of his three day visit to
Turkey.
Pope Francis was photographed alongside the Grand
Mufti as he clasped his hands for a two minute silent
prayer in the 17th-century Sultan Ahmet mosque, aiming
to show respect for Islam and encourage stronger ties
between the two faiths.
