STUTTGART, Germany — Islamic State militants have released a video that purportedly shows scenes from an October ambush in Niger in which four U.S. soldiers were killed. The nine-minute video then cuts to the view from a U.S. soldier’s helmet, seized by the militants after the attack, which shows the ambush in graphic detail. The military said it was aware of the ISIS propaganda video and asked that the imagery not be released. A portion of the video shows the Americans crouching behind their Toyota Land Cruiser and a truck. Moments later, helmet cam video shows the soldier shot again at close range as masked militants appear around him.
