America\u2019s top general, Joseph Dunford, has promised a full investigation into the deaths of four soldiers in Niger earlier this month, saying their families deserved an explanation of what happened.<\/p>\n

General Dunford said they had been attacked by suspected Islamist extremists while on a reconnaissance patrol, and had waited about an hour to request air support.<\/p>\n

The body of one soldier, Sergeant La David Johnson, was not recovered for two days.<\/p>\n

His widow, Myeshia Johnson, has accused President Donald Trump of treating her with insensitivity during a condolence call.<\/p>\n

The clash was the deadliest for US troops since Mr Trump took office, and some Americans have questioned their presence in Niger.<\/p>\n

General Dunford said the mission to assist local forces in the fight against jihadists would continue.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
