Pentagon: Disclosure of Foley Rescue Attempt 'Makes Our Job Harder'

 

U.S. Special Forces attempted to free James Foley, the American journalist beheaded by the Islamic State (ISIS), earlier this summer, but Foley and other American hostages thought to have been at the location inside Syria were not there.
