Less than a week after United States offered to help Nigeria with the rescue of over 276 school girls kidnapped by Boko Haram, a religious extremist group, Israel has offered Nigeria help on
Sunday in locating the schoolgirls abducted. Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu's office was quoted to have on the phone to Nigeria's President, Goodluck Jonathan said, "Israel expresses deep shock at the crime against the girls... We are ready to help in finding
the girls and fighting the cruel terrorism inflicted on you." The statement did not elaborate on how Israel might enlist in the
search, with which British and U.S. experts are also helping. A
spokesman for Israel's Foreign Ministry said he knew of no cooperation
efforts under way. Israel has
defense ties with Nigeria, and has provided it in the past with
surveillance drones.
