Part 2

Thirty years ago, on October 3, 1993, U.S. forces planned to seize two of Mohammed Farah Aidid's top lieutenants during a meeting deep in Mogadishu. The raid was only intended to last an hour, but exploded into an overnight standoff and rescue operation extending into the daylight hours of the next day. Operation Gothic Serpent would claim the lives of 18 U.S. service members–the deadliest battle since Vietnam. Tom Satterly was on the ground that day. This is his story.
