Obama spoke with the father of Jessica Buchanan, John, on Tuesday evening after her safely rescued. He praised him for staying strong in a few months of his daughter's kidnapping and said the experience made him think about his own daughters, Malia and Sasha.
Raid unfolded just before Obama's State of the Union address. Obama says that while he spoke, Buchanan has been safely recovered, together with the Danish hostages, but have not yet reached the U.S. base in Dijbouti.
