"We've been training Nigerian military and security forces in counter-terrorism for the past two years. They have to step up."We have no clear idea where they (girls) are.There's a lot we can do," said one senior military official. "Provide intel, training, advising, mission planning, communications. But we won't be the trigger pullers."
