hailed as a psychological victory

A Columbia former presidential candidate who was captured six years ago by the country's communist group was rescued in an intelligent operation. 14 other hostages were also rescued. The operation was hailed as a psychological victory for the government in its long battle with terrorism.

Is the last sentence natural?
Thanks.

Hi N2G Yes, the last sentence sounds OK to me. I'm a little uncomfortable with the use of the word 'intelligent' in the first sentence. ) In addition, I would suggest writing out the number 14 in full ( fourteen ) since it begins the second sentence.
