Baku, October 16 (AZERTAC). A Nigerian militant group said it planned to carry out another bomb attack in the capital Abuja, two weeks after claiming responsibility for car bombings in the city which killed at least 10 people.

In a statement emailed to news organizations, the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) said it would give 30 minutes` warning to avoid civilian casualties but gave no further details on the timing or location.

It accused President Administration of arresting innocent people in response to the October 1 bombings near the Independence Day parade and said Henry Okah, a militant leader on trial in South Africa over the attacks, was innocent.

“As usual we will give a thirty minutes advance warning to avoid civilian casualties, then sit back and watch how the blame game will be played out on all those already falsely accused,” the statement said.

MEND issued a similar statement warning of imminent attacks shortly before two car bombs went off in Abuja on October 1.
