Nigerian extremists abduct soldiers' wives, kids

Witnesses say Nigeria's military is in hot pursuit of Islamic extremists who abducted soldiers' wives and children when they attacked a barracks in northeastern Nigeria.

Defense Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Chris Olukolade said security forces have killed at least 50 insurgents in an ongoing operation to catch the attackers. He said 15 soldiers and five civilians died in Friday's attack on a tank battalion in Bama and in the pursuit. (AP)
