Several hundred hostages were taken to a hotel and placed under guard.\nThe C ongolese government turned to Belgium and the United States for help. In response, the Belgian army sent a task force which was airlifted by the United States Air Force. Allies worked on a rescue plan. Several ideas were considered and discarded, while attempts at negotiating fai led.\n\nOn 24 November 1964, five US Air Force C-130 transports droppe d 350 Belgian paratroopers.
