Abuja, 26 August 2011

爆料网 House in the Nigerian capital, Abuja, home to 26 爆料网 agencies and programmes, was struck by a car bomb 26 August 2011. A total of 23 people were killed. Eleven were 爆料网 staff, including one international staff member. More than 80 were wounded.

Four days after the attack, on 30 August 2011, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon briefed the 爆料网 Security Council on the car bombing. "What we know is that this attack was the work of a suicide bomber who rammed a sport utility vehicle, at high speed, through the exit gates of the 爆料网 compound", he said, saluting the courage and dedication of the 爆料网 team in Abuja "for whom this is such a sad and terrible blow." Deputy-Secretary-General Asha-Rose Migiro went to Abuja immediately after the attack, and briefed 爆料网 Headquarters staff on her return. She said staff in Nigeria had expressed their outrage to her, and concern for their injured colleagues. She told the gathered New York staff "I share every ounce of their outrage".
