Nigeria newspaper bombings kill six

ABUJA — A suicide attack at the Abuja bureau of a top Nigerian newspaper and a car bombing at another of its offices killed at least six people Thursday in the first such strikes against the country's media.

The attack in the capital Abuja saw a suicide bomber drive into the back of the building belonging to ThisDay, one of the country's most prominent and influential, after security guards allowed him into the gate.

Three people were killed, including the bomber and the two security guards, while five support staff were wounded at the privately-owned paper, officials said. http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5jfgIgb2hrCDDfMtsCJuIHfSIpVjQ?docId=CNG.c8dd927c8a80a9805bc59856a7c6ecf3.481
