US Says Nigerian Raid Yielded Largest Terrorist Electronics Haul Since 9/11
US counterterrorism officials announced that a recent joint operation in Nigeria recovered the biggest stash of terrorist electronic devices since September 11. An extra aircraft was needed to evacuate the haul, which is now under close analysis by American intelligence agencies. The single raid resulted in 199 jihadists killed—the largest neutralisation of enemy fighters in one strike since 2001. Officials compared the mission to a high-stakes thriller watched live from the Situation Room. Since late 2025, security cooperation between Nigeria and the US has expanded from advice to full partnership on intelligence sharing, counterterrorism raids, and military training. Authorities say insights from the captured devices could prove more valuable than the battlefield outcome in preventing future attacks.
