Malala calls for 'urgent action' to free Nigerian schoolgirl hostages

Boko Haram fighters seized 276 teenagers from the Government Girls' Secondary School in the remote town of Chibok, in Borno state, northeast Nigeria, on the evening of April 14 last year. Fifty-seven managed to escaped but 219 are still being held, despite military claims that they had been located but that a rescue operation was too fraught with danger to be conducted. The girls' abduction and subsequent claims from Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau that they have been forcibly converted to Islam or married off sparked global outrage. The hashtag #BringBackOurGirls trended on social media and saw prominent figures, including US First Lady Michelle Obama, tweet their support, as well as global street protests. http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/world/malala-calls-for-urgent/1644122.html

IS 'sentenced' US hostage to death last year: Activist

I salute for what she had done. May she still alive. WASHINGTON: The young American hostage who the Islamic State (IS) group says was killed in a Jordanian air strike was condemned to death by the extremist group last year, according to an American Muslim activist. IS seized aid worker Kayla Mueller in 2013 in northern Syria and initially gave her a "life sentence" in retaliation for the jailing in Texas of a Pakistani woman whose case is a well-known cause among Islamist extremists, said activist Mauri Saalakhan, who leads a US campaign to free the Pakistani. The extremist group said on Friday (Feb 6) that Mueller, a 26-year-old from Prescott, Arizona, was killed when Jordanian fighter jets bombed a building where she was being held.
