The Pentagon announced Thursday that acting Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan"has initiated a new, narrowly-scoped review into the Niger incident" that resulted in the death of four Americans in October 2017, according to a statement from Department of Defense spokesman Tom Crosson.
The new review will be led by a four-star flag officer and will recommend any"additional accountability measures."CNN reported last week that Shanahan was seeking to tap a senior US military officer to oversee possible punishments and re-open the probe relating to the ambush, a move that caught several senior officials by surprise.Shanahan appeared to reveal the existence of the new review last month during his testimony before the House Armed Services Committee.
