SIGNIFICANT STORIES

Nigeria clamps down on security after U.N. bombing Nigeria imposed a security clampdown on Abuja on Saturday, a day after a car bomb ripped through a U.N. complex in the capital, with authorities keeping an open mind on the perpetrators but suspicion focused on a local Islamist sect. Armed soldiers patrolled Abuja's streets, searching cars at roadblocks across the city, which sits in the centre of Africa's most populous nation where the mostly-‐Christian south and largely-‐Muslim north meet.

Authorities put the death toll at 19 following Friday's attack, when a car slammed through security gates of the United Nations office complex, crashed into the basement and exploded, sending vehicles flying and setting the building on fire. "As of this morning we can confirm 19 dead. The final toll could be higher as some casualties are still in a bad condition," a spokesman for the Nigerian National Emergency Management Agency told Reuters. "We have worked through the night helping the wounded, one of the biggest issues we've had is the pressure from people who have crowded hospitals and the bomb site searching for their friends and relatives," he added. So far there has been no confirmed claim of responsibility for the attack in which the car's driver was killed, possibly making the incident Nigeria's first suicide bombing. However, analysts, security forces and diplomats said the attack had all the hallmarks of Boko Haram, a radical Nigerian Islamist group whose name roughly translates as "Western education is forbidden". The BBC said Boko Haram had contacted it to take responsibility for the attack. However, such claims are hard to verify because the sect has an ill-‐defined command structure and many people say they speak on its behalf. The police and government have yet to say who was behind the attack.

Shoe factory fire kills 17 in Vietnam A fire at a Vietnamese shoe factory killed 17 people and seriously injured 21 others in the northern port city of Hai Phong, state-‐controlled media reported Saturday. Thanh Nien newspaper quoted Bui Thi Them, one of the survivors, as saying the fire broke out Friday afternoon when welding sparks ignited roofing insulation. The welder was installing a lightening rod on the factory’s tin roof in preparation for a tropical storm that is expected to hit northern Vietnam later Saturday. The insulation fell to the factory floor in a fireball, blocking the 150-‐square-‐yard (meter) workshop’s only entrance before quickly engulfing piles of shoemaking materials, it said. “The fireball blocked the factory’s main entrance and there is no exit on the back,” Them told the paper. “Many people in the middle of the factory which was engulfed with fire and smoke could not escape and were burned to death.”





Vietnam Television reported that 13 people were killed of burns and suffocation Friday and four others who were seriously burned died Saturday morning. Eight other people who were in critical condition were transferred to a hospital in capital, Hanoi, it said. The newspaper reported Saturday that police have detained six people, including the Vietnamese owner of the factory, her Chinese husband and the welder, for questioning. Tuoi Tre newspaper said six workers managed to escape unhurt. It said the factory has been in operation for nearly a month.
