(New York Times) Eric Schmitt - In a predawn raid on Tuesday, two dozen U.S. commandos and Yemeni troops rescued eight hostages being held in a cave in eastern Yemen by al-Qaeda's affiliate there. An ensuing shootout left seven of the Qaeda militants dead. The freed captives were six Yemeni citizens, a Saudi and an Ethiopian, who were unharmed.
