Hillary Clinton today called the kidnapping of more than 300 school girls in Nigeria abominable, criminal and an act of terrorism.

The government of Nigeria has been somewhat derelict in its responsibility to protect children, she said in a conversation with ABCs Robin Roberts. They need to make it a priority.

The former secretary of state added, The Nigerian government must accept help.

Its horrible, Robin, its horrible," she said.

Clintons comments come as global uproar continues to mount over the fate of the hundreds of Nigerian schoolgirls abducted by the Islamist militant group Boko Haram in mid-April, and just one day after UNICEF confirmed the abduction of 8 more girls.

On Tuesday, the White House announced it is sending a team to Nigeria to aid the effort to find the girls and those responsible. On Sunday, Hillary Clinton tweeted her support of the effort to find the girls.

During the question-and-answer session at the Ford Foundation, Roberts also asked Clinton about the renewed interest in the 2012 terrorist attack on the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya which could become a stumbling block for Clinton should she decide to run for president in 2016.

Were you satisfied with the answers and are you content with what you know what happened? Roberts asked.
