Plan to share surveillance, intelligence forged against Boko Haram

A security summit in Paris about Nigeria and Boko Haram agreed some few minutes ago on "a plan of action" for countries to share intelligence and surveillance "in order to find those young girls," said French President François Hollande, who's hosting the summit. He was referring to how Boko Haram has kidnapped nearly 300 girls in Nigeria.

The summit has led partnering countries "to take stronger measures to eradicate" the extremist Islam group accused of abducting nearly 300 girls in Nigeria, Cameroon President Paul Biya said at the summit. "We're here to declare war on Boko Haram."

As the search for the girls continues, regional leaders are meeting in Paris to discuss the militant group's escalating threat to the region.

French President François Hollande is hosting the security summit at Elysée Palace.

In addition to Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan, the leaders of Benin, Cameroon, Chad and Niger will address regional security issues. The United States, the European Union and Britain are expected to send representatives.
