A top Nigerian military official said he knows the location of the schoolgirls kidnapped last month by the Islamist militant group Boko Haram. Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh said Nigeria’s military won’t use force to try to rescue them. State-run News Agency of Nigeria cited him saying, “We want our girls back. I can tell you that our military can and will do it, but where they are held, can we go there with force?” He added, “We can’t kill our girls in the name of trying to get them back.” Boko Haram kidnapped 276 girls last month from a boarding school in northern Nigeria. More than 200 girls are still missing.
