An explosion at an illegal World Cup viewing site in northeast Nigeria killed at least 14 people while security forces arrested a ''terror kingpin'' among nearly 500 people detained as suspected terrorists in the southeast of the country, police said Wednesday. Another wounded victim, Musa Mohammed, said some people lost limbs in the blast. Cheghan said such viewing sites were banned in Yobe state two months ago because they have become a target of Boko Haram, an armed Islamic group that wants to turn Nigerian into an Islamic state. There was no immediate claim of responsibility but he blamed Boko Haram.
