A Nigerian military court has found ten generals guilty in providing arms and intelligence to the Islamic terror group Boko Haram.

In addition to the generals, several other senior military officers were found to be telling the Islamic terror groups the sizes of military units and troop locations, allowing the terrorists to attack in places the government security forces were weak.

Boko Haram is currently the subject of an international manhunt because of almost 300 young girls kidnapped from a school.  The Islamic terrorists are threatening to force the girls into marriages to Islamic men and to sell them as slaves if they refuse to convert to Islam.

The government’s prosecutors say that some of the military leaders convicted yesterday had been undermining the efforts to find the missing girls along with working to destroy the effectiveness of the government’s offensive against the Islamists.

Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan has said he believed there were members of the military and possibly members of the Cabinet who were supporters of and members of Boko Haram.  Jonathan claims the government has now located the kidnapped girls but has yet to find a way to save them without endangering their lives.
