A militia in Mali says it has recovered weapons and a vehicle abandoned by US special forces during a deadly ambush in Niger last year, and is prepared to return them to the Americans.

The Tuareg rebel group says it seized the battered four-wheel-drive and two rifles during clashes with "bandits" on the Mali-Niger border.

Four members of the US special forces were killed in last year's raid.

An offshoot of the Islamic State (IS) group said it carried out the attack.

In a statement, the MSA-GATIA militia group said it captured the materiel from unidentified "armed bandits" on the Mali side of the border with Niger in fighting earlier this week and offered to return them through "legal means".

If 0bama was still the POTUS any terrorists involved would be sent off to club gitmo. I believe any of them will now be killed in a "firefight".

We really should buy that truck back - filled with the heads of the “bandits” who took it in the original ambush.

There is a lot more to this than we know.

If I were Prez, I would tell Gen. Mattis to dispose by any means necessary through the hounds of Hell every single member of this group.

I’m sure there is. And vengeance will not be swift. We never know.
