Security sources said the blast on Friday evening hit in the city of Kaduna, the capital of the state of the same name. Reuters news agency says at least two people were killed as they accidentally detonated a bomb they were trying to assemble. Riots broke out in the predominantly Muslim north this week after incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan, a Christian from the south, won Saturday's election. Muslim supporters of his unsuccessful challenger in the race, Muhammadu Buhari, have attacked churches, homes, and police stations. The violence has sparked counterattacks by Christians. Media reports say more than 100 people were killed in the violence, though officials have declined to give a death toll for fear of prompting more attacks. Officials have postponed gubernatorial elections in Kaduna and nearby
