Nigerian Official Says Location of Missing Girls Known 
-------------------------------------------------------


 
A top military official in Nigeria has said officials have located the
nearly 300 schoolgirls abducted by Boko Haram, but will not risk going
in with force to attempt a rescue. Air Marshal Alex Badeh reportedly
made the remarks in the capital Abuja as demonstrators there rallied to
demand the girls' return. They have been missing for six weeks. U.S.
military specialists have been participating in the search. Over the
weekend, Nigeria was rocked by further violence, including an attack by
gunmen in the northeast that killed 20 people at a market.
