A local official and an analyst say residents of the Niger village where four U.S. soldiers were killed this month may have delayed the soldiers while an ambush was set up and helped to lead the victims into a deadly trap.

"The attackers, the bandits, the terrorists have never lacked accomplices among local populations," said Almou Hassane, mayor of Tongo-Tongo where the attack took place, in what is believed to be his first interview with a Western news organization.

It isn't except for that little tidbit about "provide for the common defense". Helping Niger defeat Al Qeada in the Islamic Maghreb, Boko Haram, or ISIS means they will not have a base of operations to plan and carry out attacks against us.
