Malala Yousafzai knows what it's like to be targeted for that reason. In 2012, she was attackedfor her education efforts in Pakistan.
When I heard about girls in Nigeria being abducted, I felt very sad. And I thought that mysisters are in prison now. And I thought that - I felt that as if I should speak up for them,because I felt responsibility. I believe that we are being sent to this world as a community, andit's our responsibility that we take care of each other.
The U.S. is planning to get involved in Nigeria, but we are not sure exactly how.Now!
Mounting worldwide outrage of Boko Haram's vicious kidnapping of 200 schoolgirls. Now,leaving the U.S. to offer widespread intelligence and military assistance to Nigeria.
They've accepted our help, a combination of military, law enforcement and other agencies whoare going in.
Nigeria agreed to accept U.S. help somewhat grudgingly and still has to agree to the specifics.
A team of U.S. military experts along with the FBI and others are offering help withintelligence, communications and planning for a possible rescue.
There's already talk of U.S. commando raids.
I think that the people on the ground have to go and have to determine if Special Forces arenecessary.
But the Pentagon says, don't expect to see U.S. troops in action. More likely, detective work.
Every single thing is based on having iron clad intelligence on the target and on exactly wherethe girls are and how the girls are being treated. What they also look at is how the guardsoperate, you know, what the routine is.
And that's the kind of intelligence the U.S. simply doesn't have at this point. And what if thegirls have already been moved.
Each one is going to be in individual house, probably in different buildings, maybe even indifferent cities and that makes it really difficult to do a coordinated raid to go after them atexactly the same time.
Without all the raids at exactly the same time Boko Haram would have advanced warning theU.S.is coming after them.
