An Australian teacher who arrived home last week after being held hostage by the Taliban in Afghanistan for more than three years believes U.S. Navy SEALs attempted to rescue him six times, he told a press conference on Dec. 1.

Timothy Weeks, 50, landed in Sydney on Nov. 28 after being released by the terror group last month as part of a prisoner exchange deal with the United States, Australia, and the Afghan government.
