U.S. IS HELPING FIND KIDNAPPED NIGERIAN GIRLS – WHITE HOUSE

I guess this should be good news. A lot of people still doubt if those girls were really kidnapped and
wonder if this is all part of the dirty politics playing out. The United States is assisting the Nigerian government to find and free some 200 schoolgirls abducted by militants, the White House said
on Monday. U.S. assistance to Nigeria focuses on information-sharing and improving Nigeria’s
forensics and investigative capacity, White House spokesman Jay Carney told a press briefing,
adding that “we view what has happened there as an outrage and a terrible tragedy.

“ Carney said President Barack Obama has been briefed several times on the issue and his national security team is monitoring the situation closely. “Boko Haram is a terrorist organization with heinous and malicious intent,” Carney said. At a press briefing on Monday, State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said information that U.S. has indicates that many of the girls have likely been moved out of the country to neighboring countries.
