{{Pressure is reportedly growing for Western military drones to be used in the hunt for more than 200 schoolgirls who were abducted by Boko Haram Islamists in Nigeria three weeks ago.}}
According to the National Post, experts said unnamed spy planes of the kind used in Afghanistan were expected to be deployed along with satellite-operated cameras to search the vast areas of desert and woodland where the girls were thought to be hidden.
This comes following the release of a video by Boko Haram in which its leader threatened to sell the girls as “slaves”.
Nigerian police say at least 223 girls remained missing after being abducted from their boarding school in the remote northern Nigerian town of Chibok on 14 April.
