Nigeria: Over 100 Girls Missing After Boko Haram Raid on School
---------------------------------------------------------------

In Nigeria, police say 111 girls went missing from a state-run boarding
school in the northern town of Dapchi, following a raid by militants
with the group Boko Haram. Parents of the children say fighters armed
with machine guns abducted the girls, though there were conflicting
reports over whether some of them were subsequently rescued by Nigeria's
military. Reuters reports two of the girls were found dead.
