A U.S. special operations mission to rescue kidnapped professors from the American University in Afghanistan has failed.
The secret operation, which took place weeks ago, killed seven enemy fighters but yielded no captives, according to Fox News.
The mission was actually supposed to be attempted a day earlier, but as the operators were en route to the target, White House approval fell through, and they had to turn back to base.
