Washington’s spooks are returning to their old methods, Russia’s foreign intelligence agency has claimed | The U.S. government is considering whether to assassinate the leaders of the new military administration in Niger, which seized power in late July, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) has warned. While the White House is “not satisfied” with events in the former French colony, it does not want to rely on military intervention by Niger's regional neighbors, the assessment released by the SVR on Thursday claimed. Washington considers that a "wetwork" solution by a proxy would be preferable to military action by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), the Russian agency said. ECOWAS has threatened to invade Niger to restore its ousted president Mohamed Bazoum to office, but has yet to act. French President Emmanuel Macron said last week that his nation would support military action by the bloc.
