Boko Haram militants 'kidnap up to 40 young mothers'

Suspected Boko Haram gunmen kidnapped at least 20 young mothers near a town in northeast of Nigeria where more than 200 schoolgirls were abducted nearly two months ago.

News of the abduction came after gunmen from the militant group slaughtered hundreds of villagers in the north-east of the country.

There were conflicting reports of how many women were abducted from the nomadic settlement near Chibok in Borno state, with one local leader putting the number as high as 40, according to AFP.

Did the 200 get rescued? Last I heard, they found them being held prisoner in the woods, but were chickenshoot to do anything about it?

When's their next concert, anyway?
