US experts join hunt for abducted Nigerian schoolgirls



US President Barack Obama said the team comprised personnel from military, law enforcement and other agencies.

"This may be the event that helps to mobilise the entire international community to finally do something against this horrendous organisation that's perpetrated such a terrible crime," he added.

US Secretary of State John Kerry said on Tuesday that Washington will set up a co-ordination cell at its embassy in Abuja with US military personnel, law enforcement officials and experts in hostage situations.

He was speaking after talks with EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton.

The UK has also offered to help the Nigerian authorities in their search, British Foreign Secretary William Hague said on Tuesday, without specifying what form the assistance would take.

I hope they can make progress quickly. You just know that the best of the best were sent.

Then all nations need to help put a stop to this group of terrorists .

makes me suspect that at least some people of inflence in the government there sereptitiously support the group, whether ideologically or (more likely) simply because allowing them to continue to create fear and chaos in northern Nigeria benefits some powerful people in some way.

On Edit: Sort of like the way certain elements in the Pakistani security forces have always supported the Taliban in Afghanistan and also supported bin Laden and helped protect him for so long.

There were demonstrations in front of the Nigerian consulate in London, the Nigerian embassy in Dublin, Ireland, and the US Nigerian embassy. And in the Nigerian capitol of Abuja. There are also protests taking place in Houston, Syracuse, and other US cities.

I want three things to happen.

I want the girls to come home safely. And get the aid that they will need to overcome this.

Then I want those bastards hunted down.

And then I want the world to have full knowledge of what happened and why it happened. I don't want this issue to die after this is over. The world needs to see it, understand it, and work progressively to end it. Women are people and equal under the law. Wake up, don't stop we can never stop.

Thanks so much for your support in this BtA. We all have to stand together on the issues that would take away our rights.
