Kidnapped girls: Video may give clues to location

A new video from Nigeria’s Boko Haram terrorist network purports to show dozens of abducted schoolgirls, covered in jihab and praying in Arabic.

Kidnapped girls: Video may give clues to location

It is the first public sight of the girls since more than 300 were kidnapped from a north-eastern school on the night of April 14 — exactly four weeks ago.

Families have said most girls abducted are Christians but the about 100 shown under a tree in the video recite Muslim prayers in Arabic. Many are barefoot. Some appear fearful, others desolate. Fifty-three escaped by themselves and 276 are missing, police say.
