MAIDUGURI, Nigeria - Nigerian soldiers rescued 71 people, almost all girls and women, in firefights that killed many Boko Haram militants in villages near the northeastern city of Maiduguri, the military said Thursday.
Some captives told The Associated Press they were in the clutches of the Islamic extremists for as long as a year.
