Trinidad and Tobago police have successfully rescued Daniel Kawal, a 59-year-old Caribbean Airlines pilot who was kidnapped last Wednesday.
Kawal was found alive and well during an operation in Maraval, on the outskirts of the capital city of Port of Spain. According to Police Commissioner Alistair Guevara, Kawal was taken to the hospital for treatment and is doing fine.
During the rescue, there was an exchange of fire between officers and one of the suspects. The suspect was wounded, taken to the hospital, and later pronounced dead. Police have two other suspects in custody, but two additional men involved in the kidnapping remain at large. The police commissioner did not comment on whether a ransom was paid
