American Hostage Freed After Years of Captivity in Niger Recounts Ordeal and Frustration With Government Handling

American missionary Jeff Woodke was held captive by Islamic extremists in Niger for over six years.
Woodke was tortured, chained, and pressured to convert to Islam during his imprisonment.
Woodke and his wife expressed anger with how the US government negotiated for his release and paid ransom.
Woodke's release came as a French journalist was also freed, though the circumstances remain unclear.
Now home in California, Woodke faces steep medical bills and struggles to adjust to normal life.
