Nigeria abducted girls: France summit on Boko Haram threat

A security summit has opened in Paris on the threat from Boko Haram Islamists, after they abducted more than 200 schoolgirls in Nigeria in April.
Nigeria's President Goodluck Jonathan, who is attending the talks, had to call off a visit to the town where the girls were seized for security reasons.


As West African leaders arrived, reports emerged of suspected Boko Haram attack in Cameroon.Ten people are reported missing.
One person was hurt when militants attacked a Chinese camp near Cameroon's porous with north-eastern Nigeria. Those missing had been working for Chinese company Sinohydro, China's state news agency Xinhua reported.

Militants have staged several attacks in Cameroon; last year they kidnapped several members of a French family, who were later released. Boko Haram released a video earlier this week showing more than 100 of the girls and offering an exchange for prisoners.

 Their relatives have called for their unconditional release. The girls, a mixture of Christians and Muslims, were seized
on 14 April from their school hostel in the north-east Nigerian town of Chibok in Borno state.

President Jonathan has ruled out negotiations over their wpossible release, government officials say.
