Boko Haram Islamic
extremists struck the northeast Nigerian city of Maiduguri for the first time
in months Monday with rocket-propelled grenades and multiple suicide bombers,
witnesses said. At least 30 people were killed and the death toll could go
higher. Nigerian
troops "intercepted and destroyed" 10 suicide bombers and repelled
the attackers, according to PR Nigeria, an agency that disseminates government
news.
