Mali militias say have US vehicle taken in Niger attack

Two Malian militia groups say they have recovered a US military vehicle and weapons that jihadist fighters seized after a deadly ambush of American special forces in neighbouring Niger in October. The claim was made in a statement released on Wednesday by two armed groups, one of which in 2015 signed up to a peace deal with the Malian government pledging to join its fight against jihadists. The US Africa Command (Africom), asked by AFP, said the Pentagon "is aware" of the claim.
