Heard a telephone interview on FNC with Martin's mother. That woman is solid as a rock. She was awe inspiring.

May God bless their family and keep them strong. Godspeed for Gracia's recovery from her wounds and her safe return home.

I heard the same interview. The children, those poor children, have been told that their mother has been rescued and their father is dead.

Abu Sayyaf probably used Martin Burham and the Filipino nurse as either human shields or killed them when they realized that they were going down in one last firefight. It's a miracle Gracia has survived. My prayers for their family.
