Nigeria's leaders reportedly can't agree on how to save those kidnapped schoolgirls.

The country's military chiefs say a rescue operation is too dangerous and would get many of the hostages killed.

Meanwhile, President Goodluck Jonathan is refusing to negotiate. He has turned down a demand from the terror group Boko Haram, which kidnapped the girls, that he release prisoners in exchange for them.

A community leader from the area where the girls were taken said the government is creating confusion by not speaking with one voice.

Now, Boko Haram is suspected in two more attacks that killed more than 54 in northern Nigeria Tuesday.
