Mission accomplished

Quote:

An American doctor who had been abducted by the Taliban in eastern Afghanistan has been rescued, the US-led international forces say.
Dilip Joseph, of the Morning Star Development aid group, was freed by US and Afghan forces in a joint operation that killed seven of his captors.
US commander in Afghanistan, Gen John Allen, said he ordered the mission as intelligence showed the doctor was in danger of being killed or injured.
He is said to be in good health.

May he rest in Peace

It was most likely a close quarters situation a very dangerous type of combat in a dangerous profession.It sadi that one of the hostages was killed so the Talib must have starting shooting and the Seals must of had to move fast.
