Another United Nations staff member has died as a result of the suicide bombing that struck the world body's offices in Abuja, the Nigerian capital, four months ago.

Fred Simiyu Willis, an employee of the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF), died on 23 December in South Africa, where he had been on medical evacuation after the blast, the agency confirmed today.

The Kenyan national had worked for the agency in Abuja since September 2004, serving as a health specialist focused on vaccine security, supply and logistics.

I have not seen any reports analysing who/what caused the security breach in Abuja. Does anyone have more info?
