DOG BITES MAN: Islamists kidnap 100 schoolgirls who face living hell as sex slaves.
Heavily armed Islamic extremists abducted at least 100 female students from a school in northeast Nigeria before dawn Tuesday, but some of the teens managed to escape from the back of an open truck, officials said. . . .
The group — whose name means “Western education is forbidden” — has targeted schools, mosques, churches, villages and agricultural centers in increasingly indiscriminate attacks. It has also made daring raids on military barracks and bases.
Boko Haram is also accused of Monday morning’s explosion at a busy bus station in Nigeria’s capital that killed at least 75 people and wounded 141.
