Boko Haram terrorists brutally murdered a group of women being held captive in Nigeria just moments before they were about to be rescued.

Some were stoned, others were crushed to death by an armored car, and at least three were blown up by a land mine.

Since last week, the Nigerian government has rescued at least 700 women from the terrorist organization.

"We just have to give praise to God that we are alive, those of us who have survived," Lami Musa said.

Five months earlier, the jihadists murdered Musa's husband before kidnapping the 27-year-old and forcing her to leave her three children behind.

"They took me so I can marry one of their commanders," she told The Associated Press

"When they realized I was pregnant, they said I was impregnated by an infidel, and we have killed him. Once you deliver, within a week we will marry you to our commander," she said.

Of those rescued, it is unclear whether any are "Chibok girls," whose mass abduction from their school a year ago sparked outrage worldwide and a campaign for their freedom under the hashtag #BringBackOurGirls.
