Group ‘acts like al-Qaida’

NIGERIAN President Goodluck Jonathan said Boko Haram, which is holding more than 200 schoolgirls captive, is “acting clearly as an al-Qaida operation” and is no longer just a local problem.

He joined four other African leaders and representatives of France, the UK and US yesterday to work out details of a global response to the Islamic extremist group.

French President Francois Hollande said the effort will involve sharing intelligence and protecting borders, adding that Boko Haram has clear ties with other terror groups in Africa, making it a problem for the continent and beyond.
