US officials say American Special Forces weren't able to act fast enough to save the lives of two western hostages in Yemen.
British-born journalist Luke Somers and South African teacher Pierre Korkie (PRON: COR-KEY) died in the operation to rescue them.
The South Africans say the botched raid came just as they were negotiating the teacher's freedom.
