The
schoolgirls kidnapped in Nigeria by Islamic militants have been sighted for the
first time, it was reported locally on Thursday.
More than 200 girls were snatched from their school five weeks ago by Boko Haram, a terrorist group linked to Al-Qaeda. The girls have been tracked to three camps in the north of Nigeria, near Lake Chad, 200 miles from where they were abducted, senior officials told a Nigerian newspaper. However, they added that it may still take a week to free the girls. ‘It has been a most difficult but heroic breakthrough,’ a senior military official told Nigeria’s Premium Times newspaper.Another added: 'Our team first sighted the girls on April 26 and we have been following their movement with the terrorists ever since.'The development comes after 150 people were killed in bomb and gun attacks by the militants across the country this week.On Tuesday night a double car bombing in a market in the central city of Jos killed at least 130 civilians, while two days later another 48 died when militants stormed and burned settlements near Chibok.
