Nigeria: At Least 14 Killed in Bomb Attacks 
--------------------------------------------


 
In Nigeria, at least 14 people have been killed in two suicide bomb
attacks in the northeast Borno State. The attacks hit a mosque during
prayer hour Thursday. This comes after bombings killed five people the
day before. No one has taken responsibility for either attack, but
authorities say they suspect the militant group Boko Haram. This week,
President Obama announced the United States will deploy 300 troops to
the neighboring country of Cameroon to fight Boko Haram.
