CN-Nigerians in Washington and New York Rally To Free Kidnapped Nigerian Girls

The threat by the Islamist militant group Boko Haram to sell the scores of school girls it says it kidnapped three weeks ago has sparked outrage around the world and prompted calls for action. The United States says it will send a team of experts to Nigeria to help in the search for the more than 250 girls and Britain is offering help as well. Eight more girls were reported kidnapped this week. Meanwhile, rallies were held Tuesday in Washington and New York to press for their freedom.
