福克斯新闻 尼日利亚为寻找遗失女孩而请求帮助

The kidnapped girls have been held captive for nearly a month now — 53 managed to escape but 276 remain missing. Britian and the U.S. are offering to help. White House Press Secretary Jay Carney says it'll come in the form of counter-terrorism and information-sharing:

(Carney) "This is an outrage¹ and tragedy and we are doing what we can to assist the Nigerian government."

The Nigerian government says they still don't know where the girls are, while the leader of terrorist network Boko Haram, who claims responsibility for the kidnappings, calls them slaves and is threatening to sell them.
