The leader of Boko Haram threatened to sell the 276 kidnapped schoolgirls. In a video released today, Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau claimed the kidnapping of the girls and said “Western education must end.” President Jonathan vowed to recover the girls, and said he had asked for military support from the US and closer security cooperation from France, Britain, and China. A US official said that the girls likely have been taken into neighboring countries.
