U.S. To Assassinate Niger Coup Leaders? Putin's Intel Drops A Bombshell

The Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) has claimed that the US government is considering whether to assassinate the leaders of the new military administration in Niger, which seized power in late July.

The U.S. does not want to rely on military intervention by Niger’s regional neighbors, according to the assessment released by the SVR on Thursday.

Washington considers that a ‘wetwork’ solution by a proxy would be preferable to military action by the Economic Community of West African States.
