Video of Niger ambush shows US forces trying to escape - Daily Mail

Dramatic new drone video (above) of the Niger ambush that killed four American soldiers shows U.S. forces desperately trying to escape and fighting for their lives after friendly Nigerien forces mistook them for the enemy. It describes how the fleeing troops set up a quick defensive location on the edge of a swamp and - thinking they were soon to die - wrote messages home to their loved ones. Four U.S. soldiers were killed  in a remote village near Niger's border with Mali.
