Suspected Boko Haram militants have kidnapped eight more girls in northeastern Nigeria.<\/p>\n

The latest kidnapping happened on Sunday night in the village of Warabe, in Borno state. The girls taken were between the ages of 12 and 15.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Boko Haram’s leader threatened to “sell” more than 230 girls seized from their school, also in Borno, on 14 April.<\/p>\n

The Islamist insurgency by Boko Haram has left thousands dead since 2009.<\/p>\n

The BBC’s Mansur Liman in Abuja says the area around Warabe, the site of the latest abductions, is a stronghold of the Islamist movement.<\/p>\n

The gunmen arrived in two trucks and also seized animals and food from the village.<\/p>\n

Communications are very poor in the area, which explains why the news took several days to emerge, our correspondent says.<\/p>\n

The village is also close to the Sambisa forest, where the first group of schoolgirls is thought to have been taken.<\/p>\n

Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau released a video on Monday confirming that his group had abducted them.<\/p>\n

There is mounting domestic and international anger at the Nigerian government’s failure to find the girls.<\/p>\n

The US called the kidnappings an “outrage” and said it was offering the Nigerian government assistance in trying to find the girls.<\/p>\n

Boko Haram, which means “Western education is forbidden”, has attacked numerous educational institutions in northern Nigeria.<\/p>\n
