The three men were rescued by an elite multinational unit known as Task Force Black, led by British Special Air Service members. They encountered no kidnappers during the raid.
Probably for the best.. I suspect that any group of the SAS known as Task Force Black wouldn't have left too many people alive. cf: Iran Embassy, 1980. 5 of 6 hostage takers dead, 1 of 20 hostages killed, all over in under 15 minutes. SAS were investigated over killing two of the hostage takers who were unarmed, but they claimed to believe they may have been reaching for grenades. I think if a hostage situation gets to the point where the SAS is coming to deal with it, you should know your ass is toast.
