Speedo claims in his Latest Blog that President Trump and

his administration carried out a failed attempt to Rescue Luke Somers , a journalist held in Yemen since 2013.

The Mission and Counter Missions were Authorised by  OBAMA, and not by President Trump. Just take a Look at his

latest comment on his blog.

Here is the REAL truth, not Fake news.

******************************************************************************************

 

The US has revealed it tried to rescue UK-born American hostage Luke Somers, who is being held by al-Qaeda in Yemen.

President Barack Obama authorised the mission last month, it said.

"Regrettably, Luke was not present, though hostages of other nationalities were present and were rescued," the National Security Council said.

A man identifying himself as Luke Somers, who was abducted in 2013, has appeared in a video, saying his life is in danger and appealing for help.

The video also shows a member of al-Qaeda in the Arab Peninsula (AQAP) threatening to kill Mr Somers unless unspecified demands are met.

Mr Somers, 33, worked as a journalist and photographer for local news organisations and his material appeared on international news outlets, including the BBC news website.

December 9th, 2016. 

The US saw an opportunity to rescue one of its civilians and took it. But the risk was that failure would put the hostage in further danger. In this video, al-Qaeda in the Arab Peninsula says this is exactly what has happened.

Scrutiny of US policy on dealing with kidnappers has increased with the deaths of three Americans held by Islamic State militants in Syria - each paraded on video, threatened and then beheaded.

The Obama administration has been criticised for not paying ransoms, not allowing hostage families to speak out and not taking opportunities to negotiate.

While the White House stands by its policies, the president has ordered a review.

With its videos and killings, Islamic State has achieved its objectives of spreading fear and gaining notoriety, and this new video from Yemen suggests its propaganda is inspiring other groups.
