At least 19 people lost their lives in the latest bomb attacks on churches in Nigeria.
The final death toll is likely to be higher still.
Many more have been wounded.
Suicide bombers targetted three churches in the north on Sunday.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but the Islamist Boko Haram group has often attacked church services in Nigeria in the past.
In the immediate aftermath, witnesses said Muslims were dragged from cars and killed by Christian youths.
It's not yet clear how many people were killed or wounded in the retaliatory violence.
