    Sure that Seal Team 6 actions aren't FAKE NEWS. Couldn't resist.

    An American citizen has been kidnapped in a village in southern Niger close to the border with Nigeria. No group has claimed responsibility so far.

    Philip Walton had been living and working as a missionary in the area of Massalata for a year.

    He was abducted by six armed men in the early hours of Tuesday morning, according to the governor of the region of Tahoua, Abdourahamane Moussa.

    The assailants, armed with AK-47s, arrived on foot and entered his garden on the outskirts of Massalata, a village 400 kilometres east of the capital Niamey.

    I strongly approve of the time delta between the kidnapping and the rescue.

    Bravo Zulu to all involved!

    Kudos all around. They are rightly lauded and do us proud.
    There's nothing civil about this war.

    There were a lot of folks who worked very hard to make this happen, and as quickly as it did. They deserve an incredible amount of praise.
