Drones Searching For Kidnapped Chibok Girls

The United States is now using drones and manned surveillance aircraft over Nigeria in the search for the hundreds of schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram.
But signs of them are yet to emerge, and the task is complicated by the possibility that the girls have been separated into groups.
The United States, which is supporting the Nigerian government's efforts, will continue to deepen its efforts, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said Wednesday while traveling to Saudi Arabia.
However, "I have seen no intelligence come back that I am aware of that shows that we've located those girls," he said.

The assets provide some of the best tools to try to find the girls, but the Nigerian government has shown some reluctance to use U.S. help.
For now, the United States is not sharing raw intelligence from its surveillance aircraft with Nigeria's armed forces because........
the countries have still not established the intelligence-sharing protocols and safeguards needed for an intelligence-sharing agreement, Pentagon spokesman Col. Steve Warren said.
That said, the intelligence gathered through the surveillance flights is being fed to an interdisciplinary team on the ground, and that team is analyzing it and providing advice to the Nigerian government, he said.
Warren added that the manned and unmanned aircraft being used are unarmed.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry called the kidnapping of hundreds of girls an "unconscionable crime," vowing to do "everything possible to support the Nigerian government to return these young women to their homes and to hold the perpetrators to justice.
"I will tell you, my friends, I have seen this scourge of terror across the planet, and so have you. They don't offer anything except violence," he said in a statement. "They just tell people, 'You have to behave the way we tell you to,' and they will punish you if you don't."
