Nairobi - At least 13 people died in a bomb attack on Thursday night during an election rally in the city of Suleja, in central Nigeria, reports today in its online edition the newspaper The Sun. A suspect was arrested immediately after the explosion, which also left about 20 people seriously injured.
The explosive device was thrown from a moving bus on the crowd who attended the campaign rally of the ruling PDP. The attack came as thousands of people were gathered in the grounds of a school, the newspaper The Guardian. The president of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan, condemned the "cowardly and vicious attack" and ordered to strengthen security measures during the current election campaign.
The West African country will hold presidential elections in April. The central region of Nigeria, especially, is the stage for months of serious violent clashes, especially between Christians and Muslims. Since last Christmas have been killed in bomb attacks in Nigeria over 200 people.
