Officials: Abducted Nigerian Schoolgirls
Likely Split Up, Taken Across Border

Abuja, Nigeria (CNN) -- Nigeria's embattled leader vowed Boko Haram's
abduction of hundreds of schoolgirls would be the terror group's undoing,
even as authorities admitted Thursday the girls likely have been separated
and taken out of the country.
.
President Goodluck Jonathan's statements come amid mounting international
outrage over the mass abduction and the government's largely ineffective
effort to subdue Boko Haram.
.
"By God's grace, we will conquer the terrorists. I believe the kidnap of
these girls will be the beginning of the end for terror in Nigeria,"
Jonathan said at the opening of the World Economic Forum meeting in
Nigeria's capital city of Abuja.
.
He also acknowledged the offers of help from the United States, Britain,
China and France, all of which have offered help in the weeks-old search
for the girls who were snatched in mid-April from their beds at an
all-girls school in rural northeastern Nigeria.
.
But the task of recovering the girls appeared to grow more complicated
with news that U.S. intelligence believe the 276 girls have been split up.
.
"We do think they have been broken up into smaller groups," U.S. Navy Rear
Adm. John Kirby, the Pentagon press secretary, said.
.
He declined to detail how U.S. officials came to the conclusion. It is a
sentiment that has been echoed by a number of others, who believe the
girls already have been moved out of Nigeria and into neighboring
countries.
.
"The search must be in Niger, Cameroon and Chad, to see if we can find
information," former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown, the U.N.'s special
envoy for global education, told CNN.
.
"It's vital to use the information to find the girls before they are
dispersed across Africa, which is a very real possibility."

Boko Haram attacks Nigerian village used by military in search for
abducted girls

Abuja, Nigeria (CNN) -- Boko Haram launched a grisly attack on a Nigerian
village in an area that troops had been using as a base in the search for
hundreds of schoolgirls abducted by the militant group, witnesses told CNN
on Wednesday.
.
The hourslong assault on Gamboru Ngala that left at least 150 people dead,
some of whom were burned alive, is the latest in a series of brazen
attacks and abductions by Boko Haram, raising concern about whether the
Nigerian government can retake control of the region from the entrenched
terror group.
.
Word of the attack follows news that President Goodluck Jonathan, who has
been under fire for his handling of the mass abduction, accepted U.S.,
British and Chinese offers of assistance to find the schoolgirls,
officials with those governments said.
.
It's unclear what impact the latest attack could have on the international
response to Nigeria's fight with Boko Haram, which so far has concentrated
on helping the government rescue 276 schoolgirls abducted on April 14.
.
The assault on the village came after military troops deployed to the area
were called to the border area near Chad, where reports -- later
determined to be false -- surfaced that the schoolgirls had been found
with Boko Haram militants, witnesses and local officials said.
.
CNN cannot independently confirm the report, and attempts Wednesday to
contact Nigeria's military for comment were unsuccessful.
.
Indiscriminate killing
.
Witnesses described a well-coordinated attack that began shortly after
1:30 p.m. local time Monday at a busy outdoor market in Gamboru Ngala.
.
Wearing military uniforms, the militants arrived with three armored
personnel carriers, they said.
.
They shouted "Allahu Akbar" -- "God is great" -- and opened up on the
market, firing rocket-propelled grenades and tossing improvised explosive
devices, witnesses said.
.
Some marketgoers tried to take shelter in shops only to be burned alive
when the gunmen set fire to a number of the businesses, the witnesses
said.
.
A few Nigerian soldiers who had been left behind at the village could not
hold off the assault and were forced to flee, they said. Many sought safe
haven in nearby Cameroon, they said.
.
The fighters also attacked the police station during the 12-hour assault,
initially facing stiff resistance. They eventually used explosives to blow
the roof off the building, witnesses said. Fourteen police officers were
found dead inside, they said.
.
The final death toll could be closer to 300, Nigerian Sen. Ahmed Zanna
told CNN.
.
Monday's bloody attack by Boko Haram militants, some of whom U.S.
officials say have been trained by al Qaeda, follows a pattern of seeking
revenge against anybody who is perceived to have provided aid to the
Nigerian government.
.
International aid taking shape
.
News of the attack came as U.S. officials pressed ahead with plans to
provide Nigeria with law enforcement assistance and military
consultations, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said.
.
"Obviously, this is in the interest of the Nigerian government to accept
every aspect of our assistance," she told reporters during a briefing
Wednesday. "They conveyed that they were willing to do that yesterday and
it continues to be in their interest to be as cooperative as possible."
