                      Bus Station Bomb Kills 4 in Nigeria

   by VOA News

   Officials say a suicide bomber has killed at least four people and
   wounded at least 25 others in the northern Nigerian city of Potiskum.

   Local police say the bomber detonated a car filled with explosives at a
   bus station early Sunday. The wounded were taken to a local hospital.

   There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but suspicion fell on
   militant group Boko Haram, which often targets bus stations and other
   public gathering spots.

   The continued violence has become a central issue in Nigeria's
   presidential election, set for February 14. Many Nigerians feel
   incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan has done too little to stop the
   militants, while some analysts question whether polls can be held at
   all in the northeastern states where Boko Haram is active.
