More Remains of US Soldier Killed in Niger Ambush Found

The military and an FBI team that traveled to the site of an October ambush in Niger have found more remains of Sgt. La David Johnson, who was killed in the ambush, CBS Miami reports. 

His body was recovered by African forces two days after the attack, his hands tied and with a head wound indicating he had been executed. The bodies of the three other US soldiers killed in the attack had been found near their team's truck. 

Last month, Johnson's widow said she wasn't allowed to see his body before his casket was buried, the Miami Herald reports. How Johnson got separated from his team and exactly what happened to him in the 48 hours between him going missing and his body being found remains a mystery, CNN reports.
