U.S. vetoed sale of Israeli AH-1s to Nigeria

Posted on by alert5

The Obama administration vetoed the sale of ex-Israeli AH-1 attack helicopters to Nigeria last year.

Haaretz says the talks were in advanced stage before the veto.

Israel has been looking for a buyer for those attack helicopters since retiring them in 2013.
