blast but could not provide details.
A source within the university said the first blast occurred
at a mosque within the staff quarters at the time Muslim faithful were busy closing
the early Morning Prayer.
The second attack was said to have happened near the
university’s 5th gate usually used by pedestrians.
A female student, names withheld for security reasons, said
her father was just lucky to have left the mosque before the bomb went off.
