一名自称发现了上个月在尼日尔被杀的四名美军士兵当中的三具尸体的尼日尔男子表示，那些尸体血迹斑斑，军服被剥。
阿达姆·布巴卡尔对美国之音非洲法语组表示，10月4日美国特种部队在尼日尔西部村庄汤戈汤戈与伏击他们的圣战激进分子交战后，他是第一个发现这些美军士兵遗体的。
布巴卡尔是汤戈汤戈的居民，他表示他当时正在附近的地里寻找他的妻子和孩子。
布巴卡尔对美国之音《非洲》节目说：“我出了村子的时候看到三名美军白人士兵的遗体。有大量的血迹，你简直无法想象那个场景。”
他说，他在一辆车里找到了两名士兵遗体，在地上找到另外一人的遗体。
当被问及这些美军士兵是否穿戴战斗装备的时候，布巴卡尔表示，其中一人全身赤裸，另外两人只穿着内衣。他说，他们的武器和装备都被拿走了。
美国之音星期五要求五角大楼证实这些细节。五角大楼一位发言人对美国之音表示，正在进行调查，在得到所有事实之前不会就此发表评论。
美国军方已经证实，10月4日在一起被发现的三名士兵分别是：现年29岁的陆军参谋军士达斯汀·莱特、现年35岁的陆军参谋军士布莱恩·布莱克以及现年39岁的陆军参谋军士杰里米·约翰逊。
布巴卡尔说，第四位美国军人、25岁的陆军中士戴维·约翰逊的遗体是两天之后被一些孩子发现的。他说：“他的遗体被找到的地方距离袭击发生地点至少有两公里远”。
A Nigerien man who says he found three of the four U.S. soldiers killed in Niger last month says the bodies were bloodied and stripped of their uniforms.
Adamou Boubacar told VOA’s French to Africa service that he was the first to discover the bodies after the October 4 battle between U.S. special forces and the jihadist militants who ambushed them in the western Nigerien village of Tongo Tongo.
Boubacar, a resident of Tongo Tongo, said he was searching for his wife and children in nearby fields.
“When I came out of the village, I saw the bodies of the three white American soldiers. There was a lot of blood; you cannot imagine,” he told the VOA Afrique program.
He says he found two soldiers in a vehicle and the other on the ground.
Asked whether the American soldiers were wearing their combat gear, Boubacar said one was naked and the others were in their underwear. He said all their weapons and equipment had been taken.
VOA asked the Pentagon on Friday to confirm the details. A Pentagon spokeswoman told VOA that an investigation is under way and that there would be no comment until all the facts have been gathered.
The U.S. military has identified the three soldiers found together on October 4 as Staff Sgt. Dustin Wright, 29, Staff Sgt. Bryan Black, 35, and Staff Sgt. Jeremiah Johnson, 39.
As for the fourth American soldier — Sgt. La David Johnson, 25, who was found two days later — Boubacar said it was children who discovered his body. “There must be at least two kilometers between where his body was found and the place where the attack took place,” he said.
