World Briefing | Africa: South Africa: Nigerian Convicted of Planning Deadly Bombings



A South African court on Monday said a Nigerian man was guilty of masterminding twin car bombings in Nigeria in 2010. The double bombing in Nigeria’s capital killed at least 12 people and wounded three dozen. The defendant, Henry Okah, faces a minimum sentence of life in prison, said the prosecutor, Shaun Abrahams. “This is clearly indicative that South Africa cannot be seen as a safe haven for international terrorists,” Mr. Abrahams said. Mr. Okah was arrested in Johannesburg one day after the bombings. He is a leader of the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta.
