Deep in a remote Afghan province, a criminal gang sees two female aid workers, the kidnappers make extensive demands and threaten to sell them to the Taliban. That's always the worry. There is little precedent for actually getting anyone back. To free them, a combined team of the two finest special forces in the world is mobilized. Britain's SAS and the US Navy Seals. A hostage rescue a SEAL holds dear to his heart. They risk their lives to go save a life. But hostage rescues are difficult and dangerous. Mistakes will be fatal. This ain't no computer guy. This is for real. Operation Jubilee is the true story of how the best of the best planned and executed one of their most challenging missions. [Music] [Music] In Afghanistan's most remote northerly province, Barakshan, two aid workers are traveling with their Afghan guides. to visit a clinic and provide medical assistance. 28-year-old Helen Johnston is a British nutritionist and graduate of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical [Music] Medicine. Helen Johnson stated before she went. Actually, that was what she wanted to do. She wanted to teach mothers, young mothers, how to look after their children properly. With her is 26-year-old Kenyan health worker Morgawe or both women work for the Swiss-based charity Medair. They aim to address basic issues of health care, malnutrition and sanitation in what is often considered one of the poorest, most deprived areas in the world. Badakshan is an extremely poor region with an extremely high child mortality rate which is one of the reasons why um NOS's go there to try and reduce that. There are major problems getting food in during the winter. If you're going to work there you you're going to you really have to have an understanding of what you're getting yourself into. Until now, Barakshan has been considered relatively safe. The Taliban aren't active in the area. Attacks are rare. Helen and her colleagues think they'll be [Music] okay. But Afghanistan is a dangerous and unpredictable country. Everyone in Afghanistan's got a gun. I I mean, these guys are full of smiles. I mean, they could smile for the world. Big cheesy grin and you think, "Oh, well, I'm okay here now." You know, they're not going to do anything. Doesn't mean to say they're not going to cut your head [Music] off. As Helen and Morgawe head up into the mountains, what they don't realize is that they're being watched. [Music] The one thing when you're a westerner operating on your own in a place like Afghanistan is that you become a target simply because the perception that you may have money. If you've got $400 or $500 in cash, you know, that's five or six years salary in in some parts of Afghanistan. It's mind-blowing. It just I don't think they understand the risks involved. [Music] Stop. Stop there. On a remote hillside road, they are ambushed by a well-armed gang. They steal cameras, mobile phones, laptops, and wallets. At this stage, Helen and her colleagues have no idea who has attacked them or what will become of them. Are they bandits, Taliban, or even al-Qaeda? This is the beginning of a terrifying ordeal. Within days, the kidnappers make contact with the Afghan government and release a video of demands. We have captured two western women. We are holding them ransom. The price is $11 million. They pluck this figure out the air. We want $11 million and we want some of our colleagues who have banged up in prison in Kabal. We want those guys released. If you meet our demands, these women will be lost. So that's a negotiating position. Otherwise, we will kill the hostages. You can never find us. We are well hidden. So from their point of view, you know, that's a very strong position. We're hidden away in Badaksham. There are no security forces anywhere near us. We're tucked away in a valley. No one's ever going to find us. The video does reveal some good news. The kidnappers aren't political. They're not al-Qaeda or Taliban, just bandits out to further their own interests. When you think about it, this was a group that had an agenda. They wanted to get money, yes, but they also wanted to get members of their own group out of prison. The gang are a mixture of local drug runners and criminals led by a known brigand Abdul Ahad Mujaher. In a society which is as poor as Badasha, young men often gravitate to the money that insurgent gangs can provide and often what we would regard as crime, smuggling, trafficking, what they regard as simply the the the ancient ways of their uh uh province. The gangs don't go around with a specific label. There are coalitions of interest and they are very often just briggins and bandits who are there for human flesh. They're there to trade in human flesh because it's more valuable than stealing sheep. 4 days later, news of the kidnapping reaches the British government. Back in the UK, this message would have come through the foreign office to number 10. We've got a hostage. An aid worker has gone missing. This is this is pretty much world news. The British have a limited number of options. One, pay the money, but Britain doesn't negotiate with terrorists. Two, hope the situation can be resolved by the Afghan authorities. unlikely. Or three, send in the troops. This is the option they go for. The operation is passed on to the International Security Assistance Force. 49 countries make up NATOled ISAF and they oversee all military operations in Afghanistan. At their Kabal headquarters, rescuing the hostages becomes a priority mission. The picking of the teams and putting them on standby will start very, very quickly once the balloon goes up within 2 or 3 hours. You've got the commander is who's an American at the time, General John Allen. You've got Adrian Bradshaw, XSAS, who's the deputy commander of ISAF, and he's probably saying, "You know what? Let the SAS get her out. You know, it's good for everybody. It's good for the country. It's good for the operation. There are a few better at rescuing hostages than the SAS." The planners begin by asking basic questions. Where was that person last seen? What are the enemy forces surrounding that person? Where is that location? How is our best way to get from where we are now to that location? And can we expect enemy resistance? All these factors go through the planner's mind and planning a hostage rescue. At the back of their minds is the fact that hostage extractions are notoriously difficult as Britain knows to her cost. The British are haunted by an event that happened two years earlier. The death of British aid worker Linda Norgrove. Well, the incident with Linda was very, very unfortunate, very sad. First time it's happened in in our history. [Music] Nor was snatched by the Taliban in almost identical circumstances. Fearing for her life, the British authorized a rescue mission conducted by US special forces. But it went terribly [Music] wrong. There's no handbook that you can pull down says, "Oh, how to rescue a hostage." Duh. That's how we do it. When the fragmentation was thrown, uh, it wasn't realized that Linda was there nearby on the ground and it was a terrible, terrible accident. The six Taliban holding Linda Norrove were killed, but so was she, dying from shrapnel wounds inflicted by a fragmentation grenade. It was a valiant and courageous effort by the forces to rescue Linda. And of course, you can imagine that special forces with such a task only want one outcome, and that is to save the hostage who was killed in the end by her capttors. I can absolutely understand how it would have happened. I mean, it was actually, you know, um just something that could happen and it's um part of war. Unfortunately, it's just part of war. In Kabul, Generals Allen and Bradshaw start putting together an operational plan. Any military operation nowadays is defined by what's called the three Fs. Find, that's location. fixing, making sure that the people in that location are there when you get there and finish, which is the conduct of the operation itself, and often meaning of course kill. Those are the three Fs. Initially, the mission planners focus on the first F, finding the gang. [Music] Well, of course, you need the location of where they're being held. Um, you need strength of the of the enemy, what their daily routine is. You need um and you need [Music] luck. Finding the rough location of the hostages proves straightforward. The kidnappers have been careless. [Music] It's important to remember, I think, that mobile phones are nothing more than little radios. Now, in Afghanistan, everybody has a mobile phone. By using their mobiles in negotiations, the kidnappers have given themselves away. British intelligence have intercepted the calls using a combination of GPS and cell network triangulation. It is relatively easy to establish a rough location. From this information, they deduce the kidnappers are somewhere within a deep cave complex in the vast Kohilam forest in northwest Badakshan. Immediately they realize this presents a complication. Even if they can find them, caves can be very difficult to assault. We have known floor plans and unknown floor plans. For a cave, you could pretty much assume it was an unknown floor plan, not knowing how deep that was going to go. The rescuers need more detailed information. They need to pinpoint the exact location of the kidnappers to within a few hundred ft. So, they launch their unmanned aerial vehicles, drones. Once you've identified, you've found the hostages, you need to establish the environment they're in. That's where satellite surveillance, drone surveillance will come in. Flown remotely by operators in California, these spies in the sky can spot the kidnappers without being detected. Using infrared cameras with digitally enhanced zoom lenses, they can identify the heat signature of a human body from an altitude of 3 km. They can see everything. They can see what weapons they've got, what guards they've got. They can see the approaches. They can see the routine of the guards. They can see where people are being split up. A drone is much stealthier than a Hilo. A Hilo is loud. It's noisy. It's big. It can be shot out of the sky. Uh, a drone can get in there, get across over the mountain pass, come back with the information our troops need to conduct an op. Drones are beautiful. Thanks to the unseen drone, the exact location of the hostages is pinpointed. They now keep the kidnappers under 24-hour surveillance. They can see that the gang are wellarmed with AK-47 assault rifles, rocket propelled grenades, and a Russian beltfed machine gun capable of shooting down helicopters. So, very short period of time, they know precisely who they're dealing with, what their weapons are, uh what the threat they pose is, and where they're located. Over the next few days, the Joint Special Forces Group watched the kidnappers activities on real-time video, transmitted via satellite from the drone, and use this information to plan details of the rescue. [Music] Unaware they are being watched, the kidnappers continue negotiations. This is all part of the ISAF plan. It is essential to negotiate. It is essential to get the gobetweens talking because by getting the go-betweens talking, you begin to profile the principal players. They would have been sold aligned that yes, we're negotiating. Yes, we will give you everything you want. Yes, we will release the guy from prison. Yes, we will give you your $11 million. It's coming in a black suitcase. What denomination do you want? Trying to develop some sort of rapport with them so that they feel comfortable that the last thing they think is going to happen is that someone's going to boot the door down and shoot them in the face. [Music] From their extensive military resources, ISAF commanders Generals John Allen and Adrien Bradshaw select who to send on the mission. It would be expected almost as a matter of etiquette and protocol that the Brits would be asked if they could lead this, what help do they need and they would work it from there. If Britain is taking the lead, this can mean only one thing. This will be a job for the world famous SAS. The Special Air Service is the elite special forces and counterterrorism unit of the British Army. Once a largely secretive organization, they dramatically came to the attention of the world in 1980. For 40 years, Special Air Service Regiment maintained the finest hostage rescue team in the world. And we literally saw their skills at work in the famous Iran embassy siege. Everybody sees the pictures of the Iranian embassy back in uh the early 80s on a black kit, the flashbangs going off and uh everyone being pulled out of life apart from the the terrorists. um kind of sort of did the SCES out of a business for a for a long period because they were so good that the terrorists didn't fancy London to go and pick a fight with man. [Music] Often operating in superbly trained fourman units, the SAS prides itself on its ability to fight unsupported anywhere in the world. You guys go one pair. First real move is another. Experts in stealth and surprise, their surveillance skills help them monitor, infiltrate, and execute targets with deadly efficiency. Why the SCS? Because if the [ __ ] hits the fan and it goes tits up, then they're probably the best guys to deal with a situation like that. You know, they ain't going to be fluffy about things. They're going to get on with the mission and sort it. The SAS were deployed to Afghanistan in 2001 and have been heavily active in countless covert missions ever since. Widely regarded as the best of their kind, they are the model for countless special forces across the world, teaching and training them in the techniques that have made the regiment famous. [Music] CQB close quarter of battle. It requires an intense type of training, live ammunition, live training in small confined rooms and you have to be extremely careful. The BS have to be totally switched on um as live rounds are flying all over the [Music] place. But the SAS aren't the only elite force in Afghanistan on hand to rescue Helen and Morgawe. America has an impressive range of special forces, but one unit really stands out. You know, some people say Seal Team Six are the best of the best. Since arriving in Afghanistan, the SEALs have operated as a special reconnaissance unit, often out in the field for up to 45 days at a time. They have killed over 200 Taliban fighters and destroyed tens of thousands of pounds of weapons and ordinance. Key operatives in the war on terror, Seal Team 6's most famous mission was assassinating the world's most wanted man. Most recently, of course, seals are known to have killed Bin Laden. They got in a helicopter, flew across the border, went into a Barabad shortly after, came back with Bin Laden in a body bag. With access to the world's best weapons, best communications, and best aircraft, they are America's ultimate high-tech killing machine. You know, a lot of people ask, "What makes a Navy Seal?" And it's hard to really put your finger on it. The main thing that SEALs have in common is they don't quit. No matter how hard it is, they don't quit. You have to be willing to put your country and the mission in front of everything. Operating as part of the US Navy, this elite unit trained to operate on sea, air, and land are America's 911 call out. Seals are handpicked after years of intensive screening and a grueling selection process. Trained in the use of all weapon systems. In one year, SEAL Team 6 fired more rounds than the entire US Marine Corps ammunition allowance. They make for perfect partners with the SAS on a rescue mission of this complexity. [Music] Seal Team 6 and the SAS complement each other in many many ways. For one, we cross-trained with the SAS for years. We love working with the SAS. Uh we're the same mindset. We have the same attitude when it comes to training in battle. [Applause] [Music] Just 6 days after the aid workers are abducted, a combined force comprising 28 members of the SAS and an equal number of US Navy Seals fly up to Badakshar and establish themselves in a forward operating base around 30 minutes flying time from the hostages location. A hostage rescue a seal holds dear to his heart. They risk their lives to go save a life. Now, if it's an innocent woman, if it's uh children, if it's aid workers, it doesn't matter. So, it is a very, very dangerous mission, but uh it's what we thrive on [Music] doing. Whilst waiting for the mission to be green lit, the SAS and SEALs begin planning how to take out the kidnappers. You have to do rehearsals. Every man has to know the job. So you you do a walkthrough rehearsal. You have a sand model. Um it could be back in the ops room with the full facilities or it could be out in the field somewhere somewhere in the desert. And you have to make do with bits of uh rock, twigs. It may all seem very low tech, but this process is essential in planning a mission. It's to make you familiar with the the the method of infiltration to know where your mate's going to be, to know where the other group's going to be. Quick snap. Snap. Bang. See, so your mind is aware of where everybody else is. A key problem is how to get to the hostages without being detected. expensive. As the caves are in such a remote region, troops will need to be inserted by helicopter. But helicopters make a lot of noise. If the kidnappers hear them, the hostages will be killed. That's all we got. All right. To maintain the element of surprise, they must land 2 miles from the caves and then march to their objective. But this is also problematic. Identifying possible landing sites is a tough task given the nature of the terrain, highly mountainous and thick with forest. [Music] Besides rehearsing the physical elements of the mission, they don't want to accidentally kill the captives. So they spend hours memorizing friend from foe. Our talk tactical operations centers have a board of hostages in the country of known terrorists on the hit list and the SEALs will come in and they they look at this every day. They memorize what these hostages look like. They They know what the terrorists look like. And they're waiting for the green light to get one of these missions. All that remains is the go-ahad. [Music] 7 days after being captured, one of the drones monitoring the hostages position gleans vital new intel. Helen and Morgawe have been separated from their Afghan guides. The two groups are now being held in separate caves in different locations over a mile apart. The rescuers will need to adapt their plan and assault two targets at the same time. The news gets worse. British intelligence intercept a conversation between the kidnappers and the Taliban. For a criminal organization to operate in Afghanistan, it's probably going to rub shoulders at some stage with the Taliban. From the intercepts, they learn that the kidnappers have made contact with the Taliban and are planning to do a deal. Gather the information and bring it to they may have realized they could sell the hostage on to the Taliban. The Taliban might be interested in that because they could sell the hostage on to al-Qaeda and that that's always the worry. There is little precedent for actually getting anyone back. Al-Qaeda are going to going to execute them and going to make a big deal of it. There is now a very real threat to the women's lives. Analysts expect the kidnappers to do the deal with the Taliban within 24 hours. There are certain trigger points in operations like one of these will be an imminent handover or imminent killing. In this case, an intercept came in to the effect that a Taliban unit had asked for a show of intent uh kill uh one of the hostages uh and hand the other other one over for the American commander of ISAF, General John Allen. This is a gamecher moment. A game changer would be in this situation that we think the hostage is going to be moved to another location or sold or crossing a border that we can't get into that country. That could mean let's speed up. We got to get on the hilos right away. We got to get to that target right away. If you can still make the timeline before the person's moved, you can save a life. General Allen relays the information to London. advising that the mission be put into effect immediately. It was at that point that things started to move very very quickly and I think within a matter of hours the prime minister was told that they needed to launch a military operation uh very quickly to recover the hostages otherwise there was a a very strong risk that one of them would have been killed. The mission is green lit. It's all go now. The nuts and bolts of the operation are finalized. As far as the execution of the operation goes, you would have real-time intelligence on the ground from photography, aerial photography. Uh, you would know their routine. You would know the weapons. You probably know who the commander was. The 70 strong rescue force are put on high alert and run through final checks. They know what they're up against and just how tough this mission will be. Any errors could be catastrophic. [Music] Afghanistan is very very difficult. We're actually going in the backyard of the enemy when it comes to taking our hilos through those mountain passes. Really just takes one lucky shooter with a shoulder fired weapon and he can knock out a helicopter out of the sky. The SEAL and SAS commanders break the plan down into stages. The helicopter landing zone is 2 miles from the caves. This should be far enough away to mask the engine noise and maintain the element of surprise. The troops will then split into two assault forces and march through the steep wooded valleys at night to their objectives. The SAS will target the cave where kidnappers are believed to be guarding Miss Johnston and her Kenyan colleague. Sir, I have a question, sir. Seal team six will advance on a separate cave complex where kidnappers are believed to be holding the guides. On arrival, both units will storm the caves, neutralize the kidnappers, and secure the hostages. Finally, hostages and troops will evacuate by the same entry route and fly by helicopter back to base. The whole mission is planned in minuteby minute detail. The special forces involved in the operations, the American and the British would have had a thorough understanding of the ground. They would have known uh their uh point of entry, point of exit, their operation on the objective. They would have known the timings, the weather, the wind state, everything. as much intelligence as possible. They would have had a thorough understanding of exactly what they wanted minute by minute, step by step from the beginning of the operation to the actual rescue and [Music] extraction. 4 hours before takeoff, the special forces begin kitting up. Limited helicopter space and the long march ahead of them mean they can only take the bare essentials. They try to stay light. They try not to carry a lot of gear because it slows you down. You have a helmet on, probably with a camera. You've got a a mic so you can talk on the radio. You've got your goggles cuz the wind blast and the hilo. You've got body armor, hopefully front and back. You got a sidearm, which is your secondary weapon. It's a pistol. It's usually a 9mm pistol. And you got your assault weapon. It could be an AK. It could be an M4. It might be a submachine gun. Hour. The launch time for the operation is set for 5:00 p.m. local time on Friday, the 1st of June. As the light begins to fade, MH60L Blackhawk helicopters wait on the flight line. You're approaching the chopper now. Any soldier will tell you this, the spin on ops, the smell of ab gas that's burnt by the helicopter instills a bit of sort of seriousness into the whole situation. Okay. Uh this ain't no computer game. This is for real. The pilots crank up their engines and the combined SAS Navy Seal assault units board. So you board the helicopter, you're constantly checking your weapon, making sure that the the magazine is still there. You're checking your your your pouches on your webbing and everything. And you know, some people have a nervous twitch and you know, other people don't. It's just the way they deal with it. You're thinking about what you have to do if you have a malfunction. You know, it's a drill that you do in your head. A flight to the landing zone takes just 30 minutes. By landing 2 m from the caves, the approaching helicopters aren't heard by the kidnappers. The first troops on the ground secure the HLS helicopter landing site at the top of a rocky valley. They then coordinate the arrival of the remaining Black Hawks. The troops disembark. Then the helicopters fly off into the night. And then there's silence. There's absolute silence. And then the sweat is then mixed with this cold air. And then you realize that, you know, this is it. This is it. The assault force now splits up and heads off to the two different objectives. The SAS will head for the cave containing the aid workers. the Navy Seals to the cave containing the guides. It is a two-mile march across rough terrain covered in dense forest to their assault positions around the caves. [Music] [Applause] You go into your routine because you've rehearsed it. You know what to expect. And then once everything's set and you believe there's no enemy about, you move off all silent and you move off to a point that you already know where where it is. And that's the start line for special forces. Marching 2 miles is nothing. The challenge is keeping it quiet. To do a two-mile trek in the woods at night silently takes a long time. Everybody scans, looks around, walks, takes a couple of steps, paying a lot more attention to how they're stepping and where they're stepping because you can't give your position away because you've blown your element of surprise. [Music] In their Kabal operations room, General Allen and his British Deputy, Lieutenant General Adrien Bradshaw, are watching the events, maintaining full situation awareness through images relayed via satellite from the soldiers helmet cameras. Absolutely everything is recorded. So, they see what the soldiers see. They're following through the battle and it's all coming back. So, it's a very, very tense operation. [Music] [Applause] They can see the SAS arrive at their location and stake out the cave. 3 mi away, they watch a Seal Team Six get into position. Outside the cave, they believe the guides to be held [Music] in. The longer teams been together, the less communication has to take place. Hand signals are fine, but if it's pitch black at night, you can't see the hand signals. Once you get really close up and you're getting ready, what we call the stack to attack, sometimes there squeezes means I'm [Music] ready. Just before they move in, there is time for one final kid check. With the more experience you have, it does help because you know what you're getting into. Your confidence is up high. Generally with me, I just used to get on with it. Every soldier wants that combat experience. It's the pinnacle of your career. At ISF headquarters, Latutenant General Bradshaw waits for both teams to get into position. It is vital that both attacks are coordinated. Surprise is key. Only when he is certain both teams are ready does he give the order to assault. First throw in the flashbang grenades. We use those to shock the um occupants of that building or that cave. then storm the caves. He'll say move. His partner will say moving. Everything is quick and concise. You go in there and you flood that area and it's all eyes and you are looking for threats. You have people looking right, people looking left, people looking at the center of the cave. Go left. Go right. In two seconds, that whole cave, that initial entry is covered by at least four shooters. In just minutes, it is all over. What happens right after a mission like that is you look around, a signal might be tap yourself on the head with a thumbs up. It means I'm okay. I have all my gear. I have all my weapon. I have my ammo. I have enough ammo to get out of here. The dead kidnappers are searched for intelligence and weapons, but they don't find any hostages. Back in the ops room, the commanders are alarmed. Are they too late? Have the hostages been moved or worse? Are they dead? The focus now shifts to the second cave. Everything will now depend on what the SAS find there. So once you're on the start line and you the signal is then given to go off and then you're moving off and then And then time slows down. As the SAS move in, they are spotted by the kidnappers. They respond with a barrage of shots. The element of surprise is gone. The first trigger's been pulled. And then it's speed, aggression, and surprise. You get in there, you mix it with them. You knock them down. Basically, there is a routine and a rhythm and it it tends to fit into place. People know when the [ __ ] hits the fan, it goes no [Music] plan. Then you go in, you're in full motion. And everything is just heightened to such a point whereby you don't know you're killing. You're just doing it and you know you're killing the right target. Powerless to intervene in the ops room. Commanders nervously watch their screens. Are the aid workers still alive? Only time will tell. You clear your room, then you move on to the next. You don't know, like most battles, uh really that you don't know the outcome until it's finished. In the cave, all the kidnappers are killed. Now the SAS can search for the hostages. Helen and Morgawe are found alive and well along with their guides. Don't worry. After giving the captives a quick checkup, they are dragged out of the cave. Now they all need to get home [Music] safely. But the mission is still far from over. Just because you've got the hostage and you've killed these sons of [ __ ] there could be another load coming up around the corner. So, you've still got to be switched on. Barefoot, the hostages are carried by the soldiers. the entire 2 miles back to the helicopter landing site before flying back to Kabul. You don't stay on target too quick. You get the hell out of there. Okay, you Xfill. You get out there rapid. Okay, you grab as much intelligence off the uh off the dead as you can and then you trash it all. Within hours they are approaching ISAF headquarters in Kabul. It's really not till you land and get home and get the hostage off safely to the docks or the medical crew or the intel folks. Can you really take a deep breath? The op's not over till you get home. After 12 terrifying days, the hostages ordeal is over. This is a textbook operation. Hostages freed, all the kidnappers eliminated, and no members of the special forces teams have been [Music] hurt. In the early hours of the morning, Downing Street is informed that the rescue mission has been a complete success. [Music] British Prime Minister David Cameron personally speaks by telephone to the soldiers involved in the mission, praising their courage and thanking them for achieving such a successful outcome. You know, there's nothing as good as a special forces operation working successfully that you can brag about. Later in the morning outside 10 Downing Street, he announces the success of the mission to the world's press. It was an extraordinary, brave, breathtaking even operation that our troops had to carry out. And I pay tribute to their incredible skill and dedication. I also pay tribute to the American troops who took part in a related [Music] operation, Inc. able for the combined special forces returning back to base. Everything has gone perfectly. Politically and militarily, it was a textbook operation. Couldn't have gone any better. You know, a lot of people who might think, well, that's how it's supposed to happen. But to make all the pieces connect and all that training and all the things that could have gone wrong, for them to come out with a perfect report, hostages, okay, seal's okay, terrorists dead, it's a super big achievement. Operation Jubilee is an outstanding example of a complex mission flawlessly executed at every phase from finding the hostages and gathering intel to prepping the teams and insertion into the locations before killing the kidnappers and rescuing the aid workers. This whole mission is a testament professionalism of the hostage rescue teams both the British and in this case the Americans. It's a testament to the command structures and the intelligence structures involved to the experience gained over 10 years in terrain like this. So a a real textbook case of cooperation and professionalism. Although the names of those involved will never be revealed, their contribution is in the best traditions of the service and builds on the reputation and mystique of the finest special forces in the world. [Music] The narrative to this whole story as well as getting the um getting the hostages back is don't mess with the British. Don't kidnap our people because this is what's going to happen to you. [Music] [Applause]
