| The girls were seized from their school at night more than three weeks ago |
#Nigeria's military had advance warning of an attack on the town where some 270 girls were kidnapped but failed to act, Amnesty International says.
The human rights group says it was told by credible sources
that the military had more than four hours' warning of the raid by Boko
Haram militants.Fifty-three of the girls escaped soon after being seized in Chibok on 14 April but more than 200 remain captive.
Nigeria's authorities say they "doubt the veracity" of the Amnesty report.
"If the government was aware [beforehand] there would have been an intervention [against the militants],"
Nigerian Information Minister Labaran Maku told BBC World TV #Bringbackourgirls
