At least 100 were killed and many more injured Friday in explosions at a mosque in the city of Kano, Nigeria. The attack came after a local emir called on Nigerians to take up arms against militant group Boko Haram, the main suspect in the attacks. And in Mexico, President Pena Nieto said he will overhaul the police force: a response to criticism surrounding the police handling of the disappearance of 43 students in September. We’ll discuss these and more international headlines.

Guests:

Yochi Dreazen, managing editor for news at Foreign Policy

Indira Lakshmanan, foreign policy correspondent for Bloomberg News

Dan Murphy, staff reporter for the Christian Science Monitor
