Toll From Attack by Boko Haram in Nigeria Reaches 142 
------------------------------------------------------


 
In an address to the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday, Nigerian
President Goodluck Jonathan said the arms governed by the treaty have
sustained deadly cross-border rebellions by militant groups. Jonathan
said: "For us in Africa, these are the weapons of mass destruction." An
attack last week by the Islamist rebel group Boko Haram on a highway in
northeastern Nigeria left at least 142 people dead.
