“A suicide bomber suspected to belong to militant Islamist sect Boko Haram killed at least eight people in the northeastern Nigerian city of Maiduguri as the group’s leader claimed responsibility for an earlier raid. Five policemen, two civilians and the attacker ‘died almost immediately after the bomb explosion by a suspected Boko Haram member,’ who drove a car laden with explosives into a police vehicle, police spokesman Gideon Jubrin said by phone from Maiduguri today. “
