Coming Soon: A U.S. Death Squad Program for West Africa | Global Research
With
the American public in a “Save our girls” interventionist frame of
mind, operations that were secret suddenly became public. The New York
Times reveals that the U.S. has been running a secret program to train
counterterrorism battalions for Niger and Mauritania. Elite Green Berets
and Delta Force killers are instructing handpicked commandos in
counterinsurgency in Mali, as well. The identity of one Times source
leaves little doubt that the previously secret operations are designed
to blanket the region with U.S. trained death squads. Michael Sheehan
was until last year in charge of Special Operations at the Pentagon –
Death Squads Central – where he pushed for more Special Ops trainers for
African armies. Sheehan now holds the “distinguished chair” at West
Point’s Combating Terrorism Center. In the 1980s, he was a Special
Forces commander in Latin America – which can only mean death squads.
