Nigerians to help negotiate for their release…
Via Hindustan Times:
A group of 46 Indian nurses stranded in a hospital in an Iraqi town controlled by Sunni Arab militants has been taken to an undisclosed location against their will, but all of them are safe, the government said on Thursday.
Foreign ministry spokesman Syed Akbaruddin refused to say where the nurses had been taken or who moved them from the hospital in Tikrit town which has been under the control of al-Qaeda splinter group, the Islamist State of Iraq and Levant (ISIS).
But relatives of some of the nurses, who had been in contact with them over telephone, told HT that ISIS militants had moved the group towards Mosul, a town about 225 km away which they also control.
