Nigerian Schoolgirls Remain Missing After Abduction by Boko Haram 
------------------------------------------------------------------


 
In Nigeria, about 200 girls remain missing nearly two weeks after they
were kidnapped from their boarding school. The Islamist militant group
Boko Haram is suspected of abducting about 230 schoolgirls during a
night raid in the northeastern town of Chibok on April 15. Some have
managed to escape. The Nigerian military initially reported most of the
girls had been freed, but that statement was soon retracted.
