Nigerian Suicide Bombers - Five separate assaults hit northeastern Nigeria on Friday, including the suicide bombing of a high-profile military base and a blast detonated outside of a school as parents picked up their children. Nigerian Red Cross officials said that more than 100 died in the attacks. Boko Haram, a radical Muslim sect, has claimed responsibility for the attacks. The group is believed to have ties to al-Qaeda's North African branch. The attacks mark the group's largest and most coordinated effort yet, with more promised to come. The U.S. Embassy in Nigeria has issued a warning for Americans living in the country there that militants may be planning bomb attacks on luxury hotels in the capital.
