Dr. Dilip Joseph, of the Morning Star Development aid group, and two of his Afghan colleagues were kidnapped on Wednesday.
Their kidnappers eventually released the two Afghans, on Saturday, after negotiations, but refused to release Joseph.
It was decided a military operation was necessary, due to the imminent threat upon the doctor's life.
No information was released on the actual events of the operation, other than that Joseph was rescued safely, and that seven of his captors were killed.
Joseph is set to under go medical checkups, and then will be headed home to Colorado Springs, by Tuesday.
