Dane Paul Hagen Thisted and American Jessica Buchanan were rescued in a nighttime raid by US Navy Seal Team 6 which killed nine pirates. Three pirates were captured. Usually pirates raid ships at sea, but this time they had taken the bizarre step of kidnapping their victims on dry land.
When President Obama entered the US Capitol Chamber before the State of the Union address, he called out to Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, "Good job, tonight." The operation required close cooperation between the FBI and the Pentagon. Mr Panetta made a statement in which he said, “The successful hostage rescue, undertaken in a hostile environment, is a testament to the superb skills of courageous service members who risked their lives to save others...The mission demonstrates our military’s commitment to the safety of our fellow citizens wherever they may be around the world.”
