A suicide bomber attacked a Catholic church conducting Mass in northern Nigeria on Sunday, injuring and killing an unknown number of people in a region under assault by a radical Islamist sect.

An Associated Press journalist heard the explosion after 9 a.m. Sunday in the city of Bauchi, which has seen a number of bombings and shootings blamed on the sect known as Boko Haram. The blast appeared to hit a parking lot alongside the St. John's Catholic Church in the city.

Police and military surrounded the church and did not allow journalists inside the cordon. Yushau Shuaib, a spokesman for Nigeria's National Emergency Management Agency, said a suicide bomber targeted the church.

"Rescuers have evacuated the dead and injured," Shuaib said.
