SecDef Offers Sparse Details on American Woman Recovered in Secretive Military Op – By Richard Sisk (Military.com) / March 23 2020
The U.S. military conducted an operation to bring home an American woman who had been the victim of a violent crime in Honduras, Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Monday.
Esper was deliberately vague on the details, but said, “We had a young lady, a young American, who was the victim of a violent crime in Honduras, I believe. She has been returned to the United States.”
