Military sources have stated that a combined team of security agents in the field and back up communications and satellite imagery specialists have located the missing girls inside the dreaded Sambisa forest.

The United States marines were also said to have used communications equipment to intercept a mobile phone call from a Boko Haram informant to insurgents giving them information on the movement of the marines and Nigerian security forces. The informant is said to have been arrested in Maiduguri and handed over to security officials.

American Marines locate abducted Nigerian girls in Sambisa forest

This is very breaking, and not confirmed - however the news is coming from a credible Nigerian newspapers The Vanguard and Nigerian Voice. According to their information, the US and UK Marines have potentially located the abducted Nigerian girls in a forest still within Nigeria, and arrested members of Boko Haram.

We know from earlier reports made by Secretary John Kerry that Marines have indeed landed and are on the ground in Nigeria.

The Nigerian Voice also backs up the claim:
American Marines Locate Abducted Girls In Sambisa Forest


There were indications yesterday that the 230 female students abducted by Boko Haram terrorists from the Government Girls' Secondary School, GGSS, Chibok, Borno State, have been sited at the Sambisa Forest in Borno State, by the Special Forces of the United States Marines.


DailyKos appears to be the first in American media to pick up the story:

I caution against over exuberance until major media confirms this.


I am sorry, but I had to laugh and ignore the rest of the article there. It aint real until CNN says so, what a joke.

That may be the opinion of a DailyKos blogger, but that is not what the Nigerian papers are saying. They are reporting it. The DailyKos is the 1st to put the links out there among American media sites. As they say, this is very breaking, and a lot can change once the news can be confirmed.

You are right, I am probably being an ass. I do hope they have been found, and will be rescued unharmed. That is my humanity talking. But what is the next step? Say it is them found, now what?

I hope this news turns out to be true and the girls are found safe and unharmed however it may just back fire on American efforts and become some grand conspircy about how we had a hand in it to take over that part of the world for economic future gains or something.

I dont know but I do hope that the girls are rescued and noone is harmed in the recovery of them.

If this is true it demonstrates the true power of the US/British Intelligence gathering system, truly astonishing.

I hope that the power is not used against us citizens of those nations, for it assigns tremendous power to the user. However i fear it has already been done.

Boko filth needs to be dealt with using extreme prejudice.

Let the kidnapped girls taze them in the jewels until expiry.

The only Marines in Nigeria are 20 troops that have been their training Nigerians forces. The 10 man team being sent from the US only has a few military personel none of them SF. On top of that the Nigerian Governmen is denying the claim and basicly saying the foriegn forces have not even arrived yet so keep the rumors under control. If your not familiar with Nigerian papers they will use stories to sell papers based on rumors with no proof at times when they see a chance to boost sales. They will not out right lie but, they also are willing to print just about anything when things get real compedative during big news stories.

it might be likely that Kids... armed Kids, like 8-18 year olds are the foot soldiers for these African radical Muslims...

think good thoughts... maybe the abducted school girls will all be returned to their families unharmed...
but i'd say that some have already been abused by the captors

Well it may not always be print but that pretty much describes ANY Media News source, RT, CNN, BBC, FOX not to mention Radio and or course all manner of print etc.

I love this stuff. Pentagon insider? How do we really know what the government is doing? The track record suggests their info can be a bit questionable.

Apparently US & UK intelligence has located them separated into 4 groups

Which makes a rescue mission all the more difficult to carry out

Let's hope they're released all alive and safe and sound

It is worth noting that dailykos did not bother to post a dedicated article/diary about this savage kidnapping until a week and a half after the fact. They are just as bad as the MSM in that respect.

Now I see them blaming everybody else for not noticing and asking "what if the girls were white?" When they should be asking themselves why it took so long.

I hope the story of them being found is true and they are returned safely.

Michelle (sp?) has been talking a lot about these girls.

If the USA looks after you then you are white.

Posted this in the other thread too:

Not seeing anything about this on socnet.com, that would probably be the first place to hear about it since those guys KNOW active duty Force Recon Marines.
