Quirkitized Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 http://news.yahoo.com/us-military-raid-somalia-frees-american-dane-063438091.html http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/46139223#46139223 U.S. Navy SEALs parachuted into Somalia under cover of darkness early Wednesday and crept up to an outdoor camp where an American woman and Danish man were being held hostage. Soon, nine kidnappers were dead and both hostages were freed.President Barack Obama authorized the mission by SEAL Team 6 two days earlier, deploying the same unit that killed Osama bin Laden last year. Minutes after the president gave his State of the Union address to Congress he was on the phone with the American's father to tell him his daughter was safe. The Danish Refugee Council confirmed the two aid workers, American Jessica Buchanan and Poul Hagen Thisted, a Dane, were "on their way to be reunited with their families." Buchanan, 32, and Thisted, 60, were working with a de-mining unit of the Danish Refugee Council when gunmen kidnapped the two in October. The raiders came in quickly, catching the guards as they were sleeping after having chewed the narcotic leaf qat for much of the evening, a self-described pirate who gave his name as Bile Hussein told The Associated Press by phone. Hussein said he was not present at the site but had spoken with other kidnappers who were, and that they told him nine kidnappers had been killed in the raid and three were "taken away." The hostage rescue was carried out by the same SEAL unit, SEAL Team 6, behind the operation in Pakistan last May that killed bin Laden, two U.S. officials said on condition of anonymity to discuss the operation.

aaron886 Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 No, i don't want to argue. Im just suspicious when press media knows which team / organization did a job somewhere in the world. Because... they were told? :huh: How do you think they get any news about things that happen in foreign countries? You think news outlets have reporters stationed in every city in every country in the world, waiting to check on this stuff?
mvsgas Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 I talked to President Obama yesterday and he told me the details, along with a bunch of other info. :smartass::D:thumbup: To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..
