New details continue to emerge on the mission that led four u. S. Troops into a deadly ambush in niger. For the First Time Since the attack, more than three weeks ago, the pentagon acknowledged that there was a second team of u. S. And Nigerian Forces on the ground. They were tracking this terrorist. He is the leader of an isis offshoot in western niger. The second team was a kill or capture mission but it was called off after he slipped across the board near mali. The patrol with 12 americans and 30 nigerians were told to investigate an area where the terrorists had been. They were told not to expect enemy contact. Now after gathering some intelligence, they stopped in a village. They were ambushed as they left. Sources say that the u. S. Team immediately alerted their commanders but the patrol waited an hour before asking for help. We look at that hour pretty hard ourselves.

Probably has to do with informants, sources of information that they werent ready to release. Its been a long time 54 years. But its usually accompanied by methods, you know, intelligence methods, investigative methods. Reporter he says the most interesting new details will likely involve Lee Harvey Oswalds trip to mexico city before the assassination and what the cia station chief there knew. A lot of it involving how much more the government knew about Lee Harvey Oswald before the assassination than they ever wanted to admit. Reporter he thinks the documents much like the Warren Commissions report likely wont put rampant conspiracy theories to rest. The commission wasnt allowed to pursue a lot of evidence and witnesses because it never knew about those evidence and witnesses.
