Nigerian Islamist Boko Haram fighters have
attacked the strategically important north-
eastern city of Maiduguri, with dozens reported
dead.
Earlier on Sunday they captured the north-eastern
town of Monguno.
The BBC's Will Ross in Lagos says that with the
insurgents gaining ground, Maiduguri is increasingly
at risk.
US Secretary of State John Kerry meanwhile has
arrived in Nigeria to call for peaceful elections next
month which need to set "a new standard".
The vote looks set to be the closest since the end of
military rule 15 years ago.
Our correspondent says that Mr Kerry is in Nigeria to
show solidarity in the fight against Boko Haram,
which has increased its attacks in recent days.
