Boko Haram claims kidnapping of hundreds of students in Nigeria
Boko Haram has claimed responsibility for the abduction of over 300 students from an all-boys school in Nigeria's Katsina. "I am Abubakar Shekau...What happened in Katsina was done to promote Islam and discourage un-Islamic practices," the group's leader said in a voice message. Earlier, the army said it had located the hideout of the men and an operation was underway.
