[QUOTE="Riley, post: 3449951, member: 29196"] Apparently the Seals got into Nigeria last night and rescued a 27yo American who had been living across the boarder in Niger, local level farming with his family. At 145 Tuesday morning he was abducted by a group of gunmen on motorcycles, his family tied up and the house searched for valuables. He was assumed to taken across the boarder to Nigeria. Last night at o'dark-thirty, the seals with significant air support coordination grabbed him back. No Americans injured, 5 of 6 captors reported deceased. Amazing, probably 96 hours to staff, plan, approve, and execute a hostage extraction in a foreign country. Think of all the moving pieces required to pull that off. Approved on the cusp of an election, the consequences of failure must have been considered and the op green lighted anyway. Wow!!
