Jessica Buchanan, the American hostage rescued in Somalia last month, thanked her rescuers, adding that she was "overwhelmed" and "humbled" by the support she received during her three-month ordeal.

"I am overwhelmed and so very grateful for the prayers and support my family and I have received from people around the world," 32-year-old Buchanan, who returned to her hometown of Goode, Va., last week, said in a statement.

She added, "I am humbled by the dedication of President [Barack] Obama and those in the American government who planned and orchestrated my rescue, and by the bravery and heroism of the soldiers who risked their lives to carry it out."
