Navy SEALS Rescue Save Local Graduate From Somali Pirates


This is your daily reminder that being a pirate and snatching Americans is a dumb idea. And that Navy SEALS are badass. A team of Navy SEALS rescued 32-year-old Jessica Buchanan and a 60-year-old Dane from kidnappers in Somalia. Buchanan—an ’06 graduate of Valley Forge Christian College—had been working in Africa when she was kidnapped by pirates in October. The nighttime raid saw the Navy SEALS kill nine pirates and escape to safety with both Bucahnan and the other victim. [Philly.com]
