    ABUJA (Reuters) - A female suicide bomber blew herself up on Wednesday at a college in Kontagora in Nigeria's central Niger State, close to the capital Abuja, a police spokesman said.

    "The female suicide bomber blew herself up before reaching her target," the police spokesman told Reuters by telephone.
