A resident inspects a police patrol van outside Sheka police station in northern Nigerian city of Kano on January 25, 2012. The van was burnt in bomb and shooting attacks on the police station the previous night by around 30 members of Boko haram Islamists group. Although responsible for similar attacks, many have speculated that Boko haram is not responsible for yesterday's prison raid.
