Kidnapped Nigerian Schoolboys Set to Reunite With Families – WSJ

Jihadist group Boko Haram, which translates to Western education is forbidden, has claimed responsibility for the kidnapping, saying on Tuesday it had seized the students to punish them for un-Islamic practices. In a grainy video released Thursday, hours before the boys were freed, hostages said that some of their classmates had died during their captivity. Mr. Masari, the governor, said Friday all the captured boys were alive.
