BOKO HARAM CLAIMS RESPONSIBILITY FOR THURSDAY'S ATTACK IN MAIDUGURI Boko Haram on Thursday claimed a suicide bomb attack that killed two police officers in northeast Nigeria, just days before a regional security summit on efforts to eradicate the Islamists. The group, using the name Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), said in a statement posted on social media that the bomber “was able to detonate his explosive vest in the area of Maiduguri”.
