SEALs free aid workers in Somalia

Two aid workers were rescued by Navy SEALs from Somali pirates in the early morning raid that came on two helicopters according to Fox News;

The Danish Refugee Council confirmed the two aid workers, American Jessica Buchanan and Dane Poul Hagan Thisted, were freed “during an operation in Somalia.” Buchanan, 32, and Thisted, 60, had been working with a de-mining unit of the Danish Refugee Council when they were kidnapped.

President Barack Obama appeared to refer to the mission before his State of the Union address in Washington Tuesday night. As he entered the House chamber in the U.S. Capitol, he pointed at Defense Secretary Leon Panetta in the crowd and said, “Good job tonight.”

According to reports, nine pirates were killed in the rescue operation, but there were no American casualties.

ON EDIT: Oh, so I’m supposed to read my own blog? I guess Zero posted on this last night, but I missed it. Oh, well.
