NIGER - What We Know

My summary, typical military SNAFU.

"The top U.S. military commander has promised answers about the Niger attack.  Here's what we know so far" PBS NewsHour 10/23/2017

Excerpt

SUMMARY:  The details surrounding the deaths of four American soldiers in Niger this month remain murky, even as President Trump's response to the families of the fallen has been sharply criticized.  For more on what the special forces were doing at the time of the attack, as well as the broader mission in Niger, Judy Woodruff talks to Eric Schmitt of The New York Times and Laura Seay of Colby College.
