US forces conducted a rescue operation of an American citizen held in northern Nigeria earlier Saturday, the Pentagon said.

"U.S. forces conducted a hostage rescue operation during the early hours of 31 October in Northern Nigeria to recover an American citizen held hostage by a group of armed men. This American citizen is safe and is now in the care of the U.S. Department of State. No U.S military personnel were injured during the operation," Pentagon spokesman Jonathan Hoffman said in a statement.

"We appreciate the support of our international partners in conducting this operation. The United States will continue to protect our people and our interests anywhere in the world."

The State Department confirmed earlier this week that a US citizen had been abducted in Niger.

1. They certainly declassified this operation quickly.

I'm sure that's just a coincidence. (sarcasm)

2. I'm happy for the rescued hostage, and that no troops were hurt.

3. Details and nuance matter

but on the face of it great job to the professionals that conducted the operation, happy for the family, especially happy for the individual and fuck Trump when he tries to take credit as if he did it himself.
