The long GRB080925 (Fermi-GBM triggered ; Goldstein et al., GCN 
8291) triggered the the Suzaku Wide-band  All-sky Monitor (WAM) 
which covers an energy range of 50 keV - 5 MeV at 18:35:56.853
UT (=T0). 

The observed light curve shows a multi-peaked structure (peaks at 
T0+1s, T0+5s, and T0+14s) with a duration (T90) of about 15 seconds. 
The fluence in 100 - 1000 keV was 7.3(+0.3, -0.2) X 10^-6 erg/cm^2. 
The 1-s peak flux measured from T0+5s was 2.8 photons/cm^2/s 
in the same energy range.

Preliminary result shows that the time-averaged spectrum from T0-10s 
to T0+20s is well fitted by a single power-law with a photon index 
of 2.33(+0.16/-0.18) (chi^2/d.o.f = 36.0/42) in the 150-1000 keV 
energy band. All the quoted errors are at statistical 90% confidence 
level, in which the systematic uncertainties are not included.
