              Suspected Terrorist Blast Kills 9 in Nigerian Suburb

   An apparent car bomb killed at least nine people Thursday on the
   outskirts of the Nigerian capital Abuja.
   The blast in the suburb of Nyanya was near the site of an April 14
   bombing at a bus station that killed at least 75 people.
   The Islamic extremist group Boko Haram claimed responsibility for the
   April blast and promised more attacks.
   Nigeria is planning to host the World Economic Forum on Africa next
   week. President Goodluck Jonathan has promised extraordinary security
   measures for the meeting.
   He said Nigeria will triumph over what he calls the evil that wants to
   debase humanity.
   Boko Haram has killed thousands in a five-year insurgency to set up a
   hardline Muslim state in northern Nigeria.
   Militants from the group are suspected in the kidnapping of more 250
   schoolgirls in northern Nigeria more than two weeks ago. Some reports
   say the militants are forcing the girls into marriage.
