Nigeria Militants Kidnap About 100 Boys and Men in Northeast
« on: August 15, 2014, 01:25:39 PM »
The Islamist militant group Boko Haram kidnapped about 100 boys and young men from a remote northeastern Nigerian town, a vigilante group said.

Boko Haram’s Aug. 10 attack on Doron Baga in Borno State also left 10 people dead, Hassan Ibrahim, a member of the vigilante group, said by phone today from the state capital of Maiduguri.

Ibrahim said he believed the men will be “forcefully conscripted” to fight for the Islamists, who killed at least 2,053 people in the first half of the year, according to New York-based Human Rights Watch.
