How sweet.
In response to the bombings in Nigeria, the US has offered to help.
The death toll from a Christmas Day bomb attack on a church near the Nigerian capital Abuja rose to 26, the government said.To put this in perspective, the US has never offered to help clean up the many disastrous oils spills in Nigeria nor have we ever put pressure on our oil companies to act more responsibly.
The number injured in the early morning attack couldn’t be ascertained because many were being taken “in and out of hospitals,” Yushau Shaibu, a spokesman for the National Emergency Management Agency, said by phone today.
The U.S. promised to help Nigeria find those responsible for at least three bombings yesterday.
“We have been in contact with Nigerian officials about what appear to be terrorist acts and pledge to assist them in bringing those responsible to justice,” according to a statement by White House Press Secretary Jay Carney.
