By Lanre Ola and Imma Ande MAIDUGURI/YOLA Nigeria (Reuters) - A bomb blast targeting a television viewing center for football in northeast Nigeria killed at least 14 people and wounded 12 on Sunday, police and the military said. Islamist militant group Boko Haram, whose struggle for an Islamic state is concentrated in the Northeast, would be the prime suspect. "So far we have 14 dead while 12 are injured, some of them critically," police spokesman for Adamawa state Usman Abubakar said by telephone. The group has set off several bombs across north and central Nigeria over the past two months, repeatedly causing carnage.
