今年初夏，美国特种部队在叙利亚执行了一项秘密任务，旨在救出一些被武装分子监禁的美国人，其中就包括摄影记者詹姆斯·弗利。但是据NPR新闻的斯科特·霍斯利报道，当时的行动并未发现任何人质。

在政府掌握了人质被关押地点等足够的情报后，奥巴马总统授权实施突袭。美国特种部队乘坐飞机空降至叙利亚，同武装分子进行了激战，但是并没有找到弗利和其他被监禁的人员。本周武装分子发布了一段视频，视频显示弗利被残忍地处决以报复美国空袭伊拉克的行动。无畏的奥巴马总统表示，美国将保持警惕并继续努力，一定会将凶手绳之以法。
"We keep in our prayers those other Americans who are separated from their families, and we will do everything that we can to protect our people, and the timeless values that we stand for."
“我们会继续为那些和家人分离的美国人祈祷，我们会尽我们所能来保护我们的人民，坚持我们所主张的永恒价值。”
