Nigeria: Boko Haram Islamists blamed in bomb-blast that kills policeman
Boko Haram has claimed a series of both large- and small-scale attacks around Nigeria — primarily in the north — that have killed more than 200 people this year.
The group’s deadliest attack came on January 20, just north of Kaduna, in Nigeria’s second city of Kano, which killed at least 185 people.
Boko Haram has mostly targeted the police and other symbols of authority in Africa’s most populous nation and top oil producer.
