Nigerian girls seen in new Boko Haram video
By Kim Tong-hyung
A video purporting to show around 130 of the schoolgirls kidnapped in Nigeria last month has been released by the radical Islamist group Boko Haram.
Boko Haram has claimed responsibility for abducting more than 200 girls in northern Nigeria on April 12 and threatened to sell them.
If genuine, the video, provided by French news agency Agence France-Presse, will mark the first time the girls have been seen since their kidnapping.
The group's leader, Abubakar Shekau, said they girls will be held until all imprisoned militants are freed.
“These girls will not leave our hands until you release our brothers in your prison,” he warns in the video.
