BBC report : Niger: American hostage rescued by US special forces

An American hostage kidnapped in Niger earlier this week has been freed in a raid by US special forces, the Pentagon has announced.

Philip Walton was abducted on Monday from a village close to the border with Nigeria.

He was taken across the border into Nigeria and rescued on Saturday.

Jihadist and criminal groups are known to operate in the area. It's thought at least six hostages are currently being held captive in the Sahel area.

Mr Walton was abducted from the village of Massalata, where he had been living with his wife and child for two years, his father told AFP news agency.

Locals said six men armed with AK47s arrived in the village on motorbikes.

It's unclear why Mr Walton was targeted and who the armed group were.

American hostage Philip Walton rescued in dramatic military operation: Officials

An American citizen abducted last week in Niger has been rescued during a high-risk U.S. military raid in neighboring Nigeria, officials told ABC News early Saturday.

The operation involved the governments of the U.S., Niger and Nigeria working together to rescue Walton quickly, sources said. The CIA provided intelligence leading to Walton's whereabouts and Marine Special Operations elements in Africa helped locate him, a former U.S. official said.

My point is simple, nobody knows the difference between Niger and Nigeria at the border.

To the kidnapper, he is moving from one place to another.

Since the borders in the North are porous what do you expect. People from Niger can literally stroll into the zoo and get ID cards so they are right with what they said. The dullard is also building a railway into Niger while neglecting his duties to his adopted country.
