Pres. Jonathan was not the target in today's bomb blast - Police

The Nigeria Police says President Jonathan was not the target of the
bomb blast that happened outside the Pantami stadium, venue of the PDP
Presidential rally in Gombe state earlier today.

In an interview with Premium Times, the Gombe state Police command
spokesperson, Fwaje Atajiri, said GEJ had long gone when the female
suicide bomber stormed the road close to the venue of the rally."The
president was long gone before the blast and if not for media, he
would not (have known of the blast) so he could not have been the
target. The suicide bomber was heading toher target when the bomb she
was carrying went off in an empty place prematurely because of the
high level of security put in place.

The suicide bomber and a passerby were the ‎only casualties, while six
persons were injured but not fatally.
