Operación de rescate en la peninsula arabiga

Transcrito por Coronel Von Rohaut

In the early morning hours on Tuesday November 25, 2014 a team of commandos from the Navy’s SEAL Team 6 – they and their Army brothers in Delta have been training for many years now – and the Yemeni counter-terrorism soldiers undertook a daring nighttime hostage rescue in the Yemen’s eastern region of Hadhramaut.

The joint special operations team infiltrated via helicopters a few kilometers from the target objective near Hagr al-Saiaar and walked the rest of the distance under the cover of night. The team assaulted a mountainside cave complex located near the border with Saudi Arabia where they surprised and overtook the militants – members of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). After a short firefight, the team killed 7 Al-Qaeda fighters and rescued eight hostages – six Yemeni, one Saudi, and one Ethiopian.
