A schoolgirl kidnapped by the Boko Haram terrorist group from Chibok, Nigeria, in 2014 was rescued alive with a 10-month-old baby, the Nigerian military reported Saturday.
One of some 270 girls abducted more than two years ago, Maryam Ali Maiyanga was discovered near the border of Cameroon. Her rescue comes about a month after 21 other girls were released pursuant to negotiations with Boko Haram, which is believed to still hold about 80 girls.
