Abeokuta — As global outrage continued to trail the more than 200 abducted school girls in Nigeria, the United States of America has gone ahead with its pledge to help in rescuing the girls. U.S. Attorney General, Eric Holder is offering to send FBI agents to help rescue the Nigerian schoolgirls kidnapped by the Islamist militant group Boko Haram, a senior Justice Department source told 'The Huffington Post' on Monday.
Holder has also ordered an intelligence assessment of Boko Haram, which the United States designated as a terrorist organization in November 2013. "Let me be clear," Secretary of State John Kerry said Saturday during a trip to the Democratic Republic of Congo, "the kidnapping of hundreds of children by Boko Haram is an unconscionable crime, and we will do everything possible to support the Nigerian government to return these young women to their homes."
