The Associated Press<\/a> reports that early this morning, British special operations forces rescued two civilian aid workers and their Afghan interpreters from the cave in which they were held hostage by Taliban thugs;<\/p>\n

Helicopters, flying under the cover of darkness, ferried the rescue team to extreme northeastern Afghanistan where they suspected the hostages were being held. After confirming the workers were there, they raided the site, killed several militants and freed the hostages, ending their nearly two-week ordeal.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The two women were Helen Johnston, 28, from Britain, and Moragwa Oirere, 26, who worked for Medair<\/a>, a humanitarian non-governmental organization based near Lausanne, Switzerland from Kenya who were kidnapped while they were on horseback in the Badakhshan province. Seven of their captors were left to be worm food.<\/p>\n

Apparently, British Prime Minister David Cameron authorized the operation without President Obama’s help…I know it seems impossible, but that’s the way this one shakes out.<\/p>\n

Thanks to AUnty Brat who sent us this video of an interview with Lt General Bradshaw, the commander of the rescuers;<\/p>\n
