Hostage Rescued by US Special Forces

(Kabul, Afghanistan) I can never read enough stories about the good guys winning.

US Special Forces soldiers carried out a daring night-time raid to free a kidnapped American in Afghanistan - the first known hostage rescue by American forces in the troubled country.

The American, who was abducted in mid-August, had been held in a growing insurgent stronghold 30 miles west of Kabul, American military officials revealed today.

They said several insurgents were killed in last week's mission to free the man, who worked for the Army Corps of Engineers.

Daring night-time raid! I contend that the Special Forces guys don't get paid enough to compensate them for their valor and bravery.
