NG News: Nigeria says terror suspects arrested
Mon Nov 12

ABUJA, Nigeria - Nigerian security agents arrested several men who allegedly had materials for making explosives, and evidence has linked them to the al-Qaida terror network, a senior security official said Monday.

The suspects, all Nigerians, were arrested in the states of Kano, Kaduna and Yobe, located in the country's predominantly Muslim north, said Ado Muazu, spokesman for Nigeria's special state security police.

"Investigations show they have links to the al-Qaida network," Muazu said, without elaborating or saying exactly how many suspects were detained.
