The Nigerian army posted on their Twitter feed: 'Troops this yesterday afternoon that it had rescued 200 girls and 93 women from Sambisa Forest. 
'We cannot confirm if the Chibok girls are in this group,' it said, adding that Nigerian troops had also destroyed three camps run by the militants.
Diplomats and intelligence officials say they believed at least some of the girls were being held in the forest about 60 miles from Chibok, although U.S. reconnaissance drones failed to find them.
