WASHINGTON, Jan. 25 (UPI) -- Two aid workers held captive in Somalia were rescued by U.S Navy SEALs in a helicopter raid on the kidnappers' compound, officials said.
American Jessica Buchanan, 42, and Poul Hagen, 60, of Denmark, aid workers for the Danish Refugee Council's demining group, were kidnapped in October in Galkaiyo, Somalia, while visiting a local project site, the council said.
