Nigeria: Militants Abduct 91 People 
------------------------------------


 
In news from Nigeria, the Associated Press reports Islamic militants
have kidnapped 60 more girls and women and 31 boys from northeastern
villages. Witnesses confirmed the abductions while security forces have
denied them. The militant group Boko Haram has carried out near-constant
attacks in the region including the abduction of more than 200
schoolgirls in April.
