NIAMEY (AFP) - A uranium mine owned by French nuclear giant Areva and a military base in northern Niger were hit by twin car bombings Thursday, wounding multiple people, said the defence minister and an employee of the company.
"There was an explosion in front of the military base at Agadez," Defence Minister Mahamadou Karidjo told AFP, calling it a car bomb attack. Around the same time, a "four-by-four packed with explosives" blew up at the Areva site at Arlit, some 250 kilometres (150 miles) to the north, injuring some at the scene, the employee said.
