In from Fox News:
U.S. Central Command in Qatar announced Lynch's rescue Tuesday at 7:30 EST, but offered no other details.
Lynch's family and other sources confirmed the good news of the rescue of the 19-year-old resident of Palestine, W.Va.
She was part of the 507th Maintenance Company out of Ft. Bliss, Texas, whose vehicle was ambushed March 23 by Iraqis when it took a wrong turn. Special forces carried out the rescue near Nasiriyah between 3:30 and 4 p.m. EST Tuesday.
The family was ecstatic and tearful at the news, Fox News’ Rita Cosby reported.
"Tonight, it’s a celebration for them that their little girl is alive," cousin Pam Lynch told Fox News, referring to Jessica’s parents.
