A suicide bomber blew herself up on Wednesday at a college in northern Nigeria’s biggest city, Kano, killing six people in the fourth such attack there in less than a week, the government said. Six other people were critically wounded. There was no immediate claim of responsibility, although Boko Haram, which is fighting for an Islamic state in religiously mixed Nigeria, has repeatedly bombed Kano as it radiates attacks outward from its northeast heartlands. A government spokesman, Mike Omeri, said security forces had arrested three Boko Haram suspects on Tuesday in Katsina State, two of them female. One was a 10-year-old girl to whom an explosive belt had been strapped, he said.
