-The October 3 attack in Tongo Tongo, Niger, has been shrouded in secrecy
-Sgt. Johnson's widow revealed this week that she still did not know how he died
-The new details were revealed on Friday by an unnamed US official
-Questions remain over why the lightly armed unit of just 42 soldiers was sent on a dangerous mission to capture an ISIS target with so few men and weapons
