A bomb targeted a military patrol in the northeast Nigerian town of Maiduguri on Wednesday, leading to a shootout with attackers that left two soldiers injured, an army spokesman said.
The attackers are believed to be members of the Boko Haram, a radical Islamic group based in Maiduguri, said Maj. Gen. Jack Nwaogbo.
No more information was immediately available.
Officials have blamed regular attacks on military posts in the town on the group.
Boko Haram is a militant Islamist group that has challenged the government. It is regarded as a fringe group in northern Nigeria and is opposed by the Muslim establishment in the country.www.mannastores.com
