Nigeria sets $160,000 bounty on UN bomb suspect

Nigeria's state security service has offered a 25 million naira ($160,051) reward for information leading to the capture of the suspected mastermind behind a suicide bomb on U.N. headquarters in the capital last month that killed 23 people.

Boko Haram, a radical Islamist sect which wants sharia law more widely applied across Africa's most populous nation, has taken responsibility for the attack, where the bomber slammed a car packed with explosives through security gates and into the entrance of the U.N. building before detonating the device.
