add video playlist Iran has reportedly dispatched two units of its elite Revolutionary Guards to Iraq to help stem the tide of terrorist gains and defend Baghdad from assault. The two nations were bitter rivals for decades when Saddam Hussein's Sunni dominated regime was at war with Tehran's Shiite-led government. After the U.S. invasion, the Iraqi government came to be dominated by Shiite leaders, who now finds themselves under assault from the Sunni militants of ISIS. Now Iran sees Baghdad as a strategic partner, and the ISIS militias as unacceptable neighbors. Meanwhile, the United States has been noncommittal about how much it is willing to offer. In a statement on Thursday, President Obama said, "I don't rule out anything," but the White House appears reluctant to risk any military assets that might draw the Americans back into a war they just got out of. Obama said the government in Iraq is going to need more help, but expressly stated that ground troops are not an option.

A new video released by Islamist militants Boko Haram claims to show around 130 girls kidnapped from a school in Nigeria last month.

The group\'s leader, Abubakar Shekau, said they would be held until all imprisoned militants had been freed.

He said the girls had converted to Islam. The video, released on Monday, claims to show them praying.

Boko Haram abducted more than 200 girls in northern Nigeria on 14 April and threatened to sell them.

The BBC\'s John Simpson in the northern city of Maiduguri says Boko Haram\'s comments show signs that the group is willing to negotiate.

Three of the girls - wearing full-length cloaks - are shown speaking in the 17-minute video, obtained by French news agency AFP. Two girls say they were Christian and have converted to Islam, while the other says she is Muslim.

Yousuf Raza Gilani was disqualified as prime minister last year after refusing a Supreme Court order to reopen an old corruption case against the president.

He was barred from holding office for seven years.

But that hasn\'t stopped him from campaigning for his Pakistan People\'s Party (PPP) reelection.

While the PPP wants to use the remaining two weeks of campaigning to highlight its record over the past five years, it is the recent return and subsequent arrest of the former military ruler Pervez Musharraf that has attracted the most attention.

In an interview with Al Jazeera, Gilani says he is pleased that Musharraf has been arrested.

Iran sending Troops to Iraq to Fight ISIS Militants
Iran sending Troops to Iraq to Fight ISIS Militants
  • Order:
  • Duration: 2:43
  • Updated: 14 Jun 2014
Iran has reportedly dispatched two units of its elite Revolutionary Guards to Iraq to help stem the tide of terrorist gains and defend Baghdad from assault. The two nations were bitter rivals for decades when Saddam Hussein's Sunni dominated regime was at war with Tehran's Shiite-led government. After the U.S. invasion, the Iraqi government came to be dominated by Shiite leaders, who now finds themselves under assault from the Sunni militants of ISIS. Now Iran sees Baghdad as a strategic partner, and the ISIS militias as unacceptable neighbors. Meanwhile, the United States has been noncommittal about how much it is willing to offer. In a statement on Thursday, President Obama said, "I don't rule out anything," but the White House appears reluctant to risk any military assets that might draw the Americans back into a war they just got out of. Obama said the government in Iraq is going to need more help, but expressly stated that ground troops are not an option.

WATCH LIVE: Nigeria kidnapped girls 'shown' in new Boko Haram video
WATCH LIVE: Nigeria kidnapped girls 'shown' in new Boko Haram video
  • Order:
  • Duration: 3:05
  • Updated: 12 May 2014
A new video released by Islamist militants Boko Haram claims to show around 130 girls kidnapped from a school in Nigeria last month. The group's leader, Abubakar Shekau, said they would be held until all imprisoned militants had been freed. He said the girls had converted to Islam. The video, released on Monday, claims to show them praying. Boko Haram abducted more than 200 girls in northern Nigeria on 14 April and threatened to sell them. The BBC's John Simpson in the northern city of Maiduguri says Boko Haram's comments show signs that the group is willing to negotiate. Three of the girls - wearing full-length cloaks - are shown speaking in the 17-minute video, obtained by French news agency AFP. Two girls say they were Christian and have converted to Islam, while the other says she is Muslim. "These girls, these girls you occupy yourselves with... we have indeed liberated them. These girls have become Muslims," Abubakar Shekau says in the video. It is thought the majority of the abducted girls are Christians, although there are a number of Muslims among them. Correspondents said the girls appeared calm and one said that they had not been harmed. There is no indication of when or where the video was taken, although the location appears to be rural. It is estimated to show about 130 girls - just under half of the 276 pupils abducted from their school in the northern state of Borno. Our correspondent says this could mean those abducted had been split into smaller groups to help avoid detection. Boko Haram had previously admitted to kidnapping the girls. The group, whose name means "Western education is forbidden," said they should not have been at school and should get married instead. Boko Haram has been engaged in a violent campaign against the Nigerian government since 2009. Earlier, the governor of Nigeria's Borno state said he had information on the whereabouts of the schoolgirls. Governor Kashim Shettima said he had passed reports of the sightings of the girls to the military for verification. He added that he did not think the girls had been taken across the border to Chad or Cameroon. The Nigerian government has faced heavy criticism of its response to the mass abduction but President Goodluck Jonathan said on Sunday that assistance from abroad had made him optimistic of finding the girls. The UK and US already have teams helping on the ground in Nigeria and an Israeli counter-terrorism team is also on its way to the country. Meanwhile, French President Francois Hollande has offered to host a summit in Paris next Saturday with Nigeria and its neighbours focused on Boko Haram and the country's security challenges.

Yousuf Raza Gilani was disqualified as prime minister last year after refusing a Supreme Court order to reopen an old corruption case against the president. He was barred from holding office for seven years. But that hasn't stopped him from campaigning for his Pakistan People's Party (PPP) reelection. While the PPP wants to use the remaining two weeks of campaigning to highlight its record over the past five years, it is the recent return and subsequent arrest of the former military ruler Pervez Musharraf that has attracted the most attention. In an interview with Al Jazeera, Gilani says he is pleased that Musharraf has been arrested. "It's a vindication. [Musharraf's government] gave the assurance that when [Bhutto will come] to Pakistan, she would be given full security, and that was not given." Al Jazeera's Imtiaz Tyab reports from Multan.
