Pakistani officials said they acted within hours. Inside the car were Caitlan Coleman, 31; Joshua Boyle, 34, her Canadian husband; and their three children. When she and Boyle were kidnapped, Coleman was seven months pregnant; she gave birth four times in captivity. Trump administration officials cast the rescue as a win for Pakistan without publicly acknowledging that officials there had to be pressured into conducting the operation. The raid was to take place not far from where the CIA had originally spotted the family, according to one military official.
