[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's something else about this story that doesn't add up. This will out who I am, but I worked in Niger for two years. The part of Niger that they were in is not controlled by the Zerma Tribe who runs the country, it's controlled by the Hausa and Tuareg Tribes. The government has little control there. How any mission in that part of the country could be considered ""low risk" is unbelievable, especially since, as we now know, the village elder did his best to delay their departure. [/quote]

Where did you hear it was “low risk?”  That is not what I heard.  I heard they did not expect any resistance, but that the region is inherently dangerous.  [/quote]

I heard low risk one on of the three networks which I tape each evening. I don't recall which one. But let's just say that you're right. We now know more about their mission. They were part of a larger group that were on their way back to base when they were given a second mission. There was reliable intelligence that a high value ISIS target was in Tongo Tongo and they were to capture or kill him. They were going on that kind of mission and thought that there was very little chance of resistance?  [/quote]
