Fatal Attack on U.S. Convoy in Nigeria Leaves Four Dead

Four people were killed in an attack on a US government convoy in Nigeria, which was carrying five US Mission employees and four members of the Nigeria Police Force. The motive for the attack is unknown, but it is not believed to have been targeted against the US Mission. Nigeria's southeast has seen separatist violence and unrest in recent years, as well as kidnappings and banditry, while threats from Boko Haram have decreased. The US is working with Nigerian law enforcement to bring those responsible to justice.
