An American doctor abducted by the Taliban five days ago was rescued Sunday in eastern Afghanistan, the U.S.-led military coalition said.
Dr. Dilip Joseph was captured by Taliban insurgents Wednesday outside the Afghan capital, in the Sarobi district of Kabul province.
Congratulations to American and Afghan forces who carried out the rescue. Speed was likely critical lest he disappear into the tribal areas of Pakistan.
UPDATE: One of our Navy SEALs died in the rescue. May Dr. Joseph live up to the life he has ahead of him because of this sacrifice. Just doing no harm isn't going to cut it from this moment on.
