Boko Haram Suspected In Suicide Bombing Killing 6 At Church In Nigeria's Potiskum

BAUCHI, Nigeria -- A suicide bomber killed six people Sunday at a church in Potiskum, a city in northeastern Nigeria hit by suspected Boko Haram attacks in the past, a Red Cross official and a witness said. "People were just going to the church when the bomber entered; otherwise the casualty figure would have been higher," said Red Cross official Hassan Alhaji Muhammad, who visited the scene of the blast on the outskirts of Potiskum. A hospital in Potiskum said it had received the bodies.
