Hostage Crisis
In 2006, the Peace Makers were rescued, except for Tom Fox, an American Quaker, who was killed by the hostage takers. Along with the American, two Canadians and one British man were also kidnapped. Their release was orchestrated by the joint effort of the Canadian elite forces JTF-2 and British SAS, along with American Special Forces operatives.

Famous quotes containing the words hostage and/or crisis:
“Neither dead nor alive, the hostage is suspended by an incalculable outcome. It is not his destiny that awaits for him, nor his own death, but anonymous chance, which can only seem to him something absolutely arbitrary.... He is in a state of radical emergency, of virtual extermination.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“A crisis unmasks everyone.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
