Pentagon Quietly Deploying Special Forces Across Middle East, North AfricaExact mission details are still sparse, but those familiar with the situation say the deployed troops expect to “see a lot of action.”(REPORT) — ABC News is reporting tonight that the Pentagon has been quietly deploying special forces units across the Middle East, particularly in Yemen, and in several nations around Northern Africa, moves seen as a prelude to an escalation in attacks on al-Qaeda and ISIS-linked forces across the region.
