The Pentagon is preparing to withdraw roughly 200 US troops from Nigeria after a counterterrorism deployment that American officials say inflicted major losses on Islamic State militants. US and Nigerian forces conducted joint operations involving commandos, Reaper drones and AC-130 gunships, including a May raid that killed ISIS leader Abu Bilal al-Minuki. More than 200 militants were subsequently killed, according to the material provided. Most American troops are expected to leave by late September, although trainers and intelligence analysts will remain. With militant attacks continuing, security experts warn reduced US intelligence support could allow armed groups to regroup and rebuild.
