ROMANS: Welcome back. I'm Christine Romans. Now to Nigeria, where army officials claim they have rescued hundreds of kidnapped women and girls recovered from a remote forest where the terror group Boko Haram has set up operations. Now, these are not the hundreds of school girls kidnapped over a year ago. You might recall the "bring back our girls" campaign. This is a different group of women and children. And now, there are new reports of mass killings by these extremists in the northern part of the country as well. To break down all of this, CNN's Diana Magnay. She is in Johannesburg tracking this for us -- Diana.</s>DIANA MAGNAY, CNN INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: The Nigerian military, Christine, have been raiding this forest, the Sambisa forest, trying to root out Boko Haram. It's effectively their last stronghold in northeast of Nigeria. And they say they stumbled upon these 200 girls and 93 women who have been held hostage in the forest by Boko Haram. And as they continue their raid, they're actually trying to find more. Now, as you say, they're not the Chibok girls, but Boko Haram as a policy kidnapped children, boys to force them to become soldiers, girls to perhaps force them into marriage. This is what they do, and there are hundreds, possibly thousands, who have been kidnapped. So, of course, with the release of these, huge relief for their parents, their families as the Nigerian military questions them to find out who they are, where they were abducted from. And you mentioned that massacre, the town of Damasak, also in the northeast, which was recently freed from Boko Haram. There were mass graves discovered on the weekend, holding hundreds of decomposing bodies as Boko Haram swept through, Christine.</s>ROMANS: All right. Diana Magnay in Johannesburg for us -- thank you, Diana. In Baltimore, police say the curfew is working after a tense standoff, the peace is holding. We're live there, next.
