Nigeria unrest: President Jonathan condemns deadly mosque attack
"They started shooting randomly at worshippers" - Muhammad Bello was near the mosque when the explosions began
Nigeria's president has pledged "to leave no stone unturned" in tracking down the perpetrators of a mosque attack that killed dozens of people.
Goodluck Jonathan urged the nation "to confront the common enemy" after the gun and bomb attack during Friday's prayers in the northern city of Kano.
Many more people were injured, with one rescue official putting casualty figures at almost 400. Officials said the attack bore all the hallmarks of Boko Haram militant group. However, no-one has so far claimed responsibility for Friday's assault. Separately, the security forces said they had foiled an attempt to attack worshippers in the north-eastern city of Maiduguri, defusing six bombs planted in a mosque and a nearby market.
Boko Haram has been waging an insurgency in Nigeria since 2009 - and has killed more than 2,000 people this year, rights groups say. Pandemonium In a statement, President Jonathan ordered the country's security services "to launch a full-scale investigation and to leave no stone unturned until all agents of terror undermining the right of every citizen to life and dignity are tracked down and brought to justice".
A number of the injured are being treated at Kano's hospital Eyewitnesses spoke of three bomb explosions and a gunfights near the mosque
He said Nigerian should "remain united to confront the common enemy". He said the government would "continue to take every step to put an end to the reprehensible acts of all groups and persons involved in acts of terrorism".
Police said 35 people were killed in the attack at the Central Mosque, but some eyewitnesses claimed that far more people lost their lives.
The rescue official, speaking to Agence France-Presse, put the casualty toll at 120 dead and 270 hurt, although this has not been independently confirmed.
As BBC's Tomi Oladipo reports, the gunmen opened fire on people as they tried to escape
Three bomb explosions were reported in and around the mosque. The attackers also turned gunfire on worshippers. Some reports say the first bomb was hidden in a car which was driven straight into the worshippers. One eyewitness told the BBC's Focus on Africa: "The imam was about to start prayer when he saw somebody in a car trying to force himself into the mosque. But when people stopped him, he detonated the explosions. People started running helter-skelter."
There was pandemonium as people ran for their lives. But then several men then opened fire on the crowd, killing more people. Three of the gunmen were caught, and - as the terror turned to rage - they were killed on the spot, the BBC's Will Ross in Abuja reports. BBC Hausa editor Mansur Liman said one witness at a local hospital had described the scenes there as being the most horrible he had ever seen.
The Central Mosque is where the influential Muslim leader, the Emir of Kano, usually leads prayers. The emir recently called for people to arm themselves against Boko Haram. Boko Haram has stepped up attacks against civilian targets since the Nigerian military launched an offensive last year.
The militants were also behind the kidnapping of more than 200 schoolgirls from Chibok in Borno state this year, an act that sparked international outrage.

Yesu alishasema kuna watu wataua wengine wakidhani wanamuhudumia Mungu. Ni lazima unabii huu utimie kwanza.
Laiti kama Mohammad angefufuka na kutoa verse zinazosema watu wauawe au wafe kwa ajili ya Mungu
Pia aondoe verse zinazowaita watu Kafir
Verse zinazoamasisha visasi
Verse zinazosema asie mwislam si ndugu yako

Dozens have been killed in a gun and bomb attack during prayers at one of the biggest mosques in the northern Nigerian city of Kano, officials say.
Many more people have been hurt, with one rescue official putting casualty figures at almost 400.

Analysis: Tomi Oladipo, BBC Africa security correspondent, Lagos
It is clear it is not only Christians who face the threat of violence in northern Nigeria. This is a major mosque, frequented by one of the country's most influential Muslim leaders, Kano's emir.
Emir Muhammad Sanusi II has criticised Boko Haram and only last week urged civilians to take up arms against the group. This has raised questions as to whether he was the target of today's attack - although he was out of the country at the time.
While violence in remote rural areas is no longer news for many Nigerians, the increasing attacks in larger cities are sending shockwaves across the country. The military's ongoing counter-terrorism efforts will need more concrete results to boost public confidence.
Our correspondent says Boko Haram will be the main suspects, as the attack bore all the hallmarks of the group.
No-one from the group has yet commented.
Boko Haram has stepped up attacks against civilian targets since the Nigerian military launched an offensive last year.
Boko Haram was also behind the kidnapping of more than 200 schoolgirls from Chibok in Borno state this year, an act that sparked international outrage.
Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau has declared an Islamic state in the north-east
Who are Boko Haram?
Who are Boko Haram?
- Founded in 2002
- Initially focused on opposing Western education - Boko Haram means "Western education is forbidden" in the Hausa language
- Launched military operations in 2009 to create Islamic state
- Thousands killed, mostly in north-eastern Nigeria - also attacked police and UN headquarters in capital, Abuja
- Some three million people affected
- Declared terrorist group by US in 2013
Profile: Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau
'Call for anarchy'The emir, Muhammad Sanusi II, is currently in Saudi Arabia.
Reliable sources in the emir's palace told the BBC that he had arrived in Saudi Arabia late on Thursday night from Paris.
Boko Haram has targeted the city, the largest in northern Nigeria, several times during its insurgency.
But most of its attacks are further east - in Borno and neighbouring states.
Earlier this month, the emir told a prayer meeting that people should "acquire what they need" to protect themselves.
A police spokesman said the emir's comments were a "call for anarchy" and should not be acted on.
The emir, who until earlier this year was governor of Nigeria's central bank, normally stays silent on political matters.
