- Freed hostages Jessica Buchanan and Poul Thisted arrived at a U.S. base in Sicily Thursday, a day after being rescued in a U.S. military raid in Somalia, a spokesman for the base said.

The pair are now at Naval Air Station Sigonella, said base public affairs officer Lt. Tim Page.

Buchanan's father John said earlier he hopes to be reunited with her Thursday, without saying where.
