northern Nigeria on Sunday, leaving two suspected attackers dead and
others wounded, emergency officials said.
Details of the blast in the northern city of Zaria were sketchy, with
initial reports saying that the blast occurred inside the school but a
government spokesman later saying that it went off near it.
"It's close to a boarding school called Albani," National Emergency
Management Agency spokesman Yushau Shuaib told AFP.
"Two suspects were killed. The innocent victims that were injured were
taken to hospital."
Two of the presumed attackers were killed when they exchanged gunfire
with security forces after the explosion, he said.
Another relief official said there had also been an exchange of fire
between security forces and gunmen Saturday night.
