Nigeria’s military has located nearly 300 schoolgirls abducted by Islamic extremists but fears using force to try to free them could get them killed, the country’s chief of defense said Monday. Air Marshal Alex Badeh told demonstrators supporting the much criticized military that Nigerian troops can save the girls. But he added, “We can’t go and kill our girls in the name of trying to get them back.” That appears to mean that there are negotiations in progress.
