STORY: Actress Angelina Jolie said she was "sickened" by the abduction of more than 200 schoolgirls by Islamist rebels in Nigeria, saying immediate efforts must be made to find them.
"Like everybody, I'm absolutely sickened by it and the thought of them out there right now, terrified and being abused and sold," Jolie told French news channel i-Tele.
Nigerian police offered a $300,000 (176,782 pounds) reward for information leading to the rescue of the girls who were kidnapped last month by militant group Boko Haram which is fighting for an Islamic state in northeast Nigeria.
