KADUNA - Two suicide bombs killed at least 11 people at a church in northern Nigeria, where the Islamist sect Boko Haram is waging a campaign of violence, the military said. An army spokesman said a bus drove into the side of the St Andrew Military Protestant Church at the Jaji barracks in Kaduna state and exploded during a service. Explosives inside a Toyota Camry were detonated outside the church 10 minutes later. The military said at least 30 were injured. Reuters
ROME - Italians were voting in a primary for a centre-left candidate to run in spring general elections that will in large part determine how Italy tries to emerge from a grinding recession. If none of the five candidates wins a majority, a run-off will be held next Sunday. The race was expected to come down to a face-off between Pier Luigi Bersani, 61-year-old leader of the main centre-left Democratic Party, and challenger Matteo Renzi, 37-year-old mayor of Florence. AP
