The US military attempted twice to rescue 2 American and one British hostage in Iraq. Both attempts failed due to the captives not being where they
thought. All three men were beheaded in recent weeks.

The United States tried twice to rescue the two Americans and one British citizen held hostage in Iraq, according to a U.S. official with direct
knowledge of the attempts.
The attempts involved deploying U.S. military as well as other government personnel on two separate occasions. The rescue attempts were executed at
two locations in Baghdad based on intelligence, the official said.
Both times, the source said, the missions came up with what the source called "dry holes."

It's good to see that the military do not forget about these hostages but are actively trying to rescue them. Perhaps this will give more hope to
the families of those that are not held hostages and future hostages.
