The US Officials Worried for Abducted Girls In Nigeria

The US officials have said they are feared that many of the schoolgirls who were abducted in Nigeria last month may have now been smuggled across Nigeria's borders into other countries which could complicate the search to find them.

The government is still searching for the 276 students, who are aged 16 to 18, who were kidnapped in the northeast of the country by Boko Haram, an armed group designated by Washington as a "terrorist" orgnanisation.

"We cannot close our eyes to the clear evidence of barbarity unfolding before us in Nigeria," said Democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar, who was addressing the Senate.

As anger and frustration escalates in Nigeria at the government's failure to find the girls, six US senators have introduced a resolution calling for action.
