Nigerian Authorities Search for 300+ Missing Students After Gunmen Raid Boarding School
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In northern Nigeria, authorities are searching for more than 300
schoolchildren after gunmen on motorcycles raided their boarding school
late Friday, opening fire on security forces before abducting them.
Hundreds of students from the all-boys secondary school in Katsina state
avoided capture by fleeing into a nearby forest. The attackers did not
make any demands, and their motive remains unknown.
