The long, IPN localized GRB 130521B (Hurley et al., GCN 14696;
Konus-Wind detection : Golenetskii et al., GCN 14698) triggered the
Suzaku Wide-band All-sky Monitor (WAM) which covers an energy range of
50 keV - 5 MeV at 21:24:31.599 UT (=T0).

The observed light curve shows a multi-peaked structure starting at
T0-0s, ending at T0+25 s with a duration (T90) of about 23 seconds. The
fluence in 100 - 1000 keV was 1.21 (+0.07/-0.08) x 10^-5 erg/cm^2. The
1-s peak flux measured from T0+1 s was 4.25 (+1.63/-0.54) photons/cm^2/s
in the same energy range.

Preliminary result shows that the time-averaged spectrum from T0-0s to
T0+25 s is well fitted by a single power-law with a photon index of 2.33
(+0.19/-0.16) (chi^2/d.o.f = 30.0/25).

All the quoted errors are at statistical 90% confidence level,in which
the systematic uncertainties are not included.
