"Run and hide"?

The hostages were killed by the terrorists during a rescue attempt. That is all we know.

In fact we don't even know that, some reports are suggesting that the time of hostages were killed is unkown and even before the SBS got there. as usual, can't trust media reports more than even 1%.

Sad day as i'm an engineer from northwest too.

[Churchill]

Not meant to cause offence gaylord, just a title you should be proud of. DOn't protest too much Churchill.

As for your response, if, as you said, their mission was to rescue said hostages, would you agree that as the hostages are now encased in wood and being very dead means the mission wasn't a resounding success?

We're not measuring success, merely pointing out that "f*cked up!" isn't neccessarily the correct term for what happened.

[eek]

Didn't the Ruskies try that one in a hostage thingy?

The gas they used killed almost as many as the scumbags did.

Didn't they forget to read the label and throw far more than was required for the size of the building.

There is a problem with "clever" solutions. The people who come up with the ideas are far cleverer than the people implementing them and don't think about making it fool proof.

They captured the people responsible.

There's always a risk that there will be collateral damage in an operation like that.

Very unfortunate.

Yes but at the sacrifice of the hostages.

The point of the mission was to rescue the hostages and if also capture/kill those responsible even better, but no mission would be authorised without the former as the primary aim. Surely ?

Agreed, we don't know all the facts.

Very sad day. I guess if you chase moolah, you take the risks. Last year there were a lot of jobs in Nigeria in the delta being offered, with protection, accomodation on site, and flights in and out. Good money too, for total. Ended up taking on a load of bobs for the job.

That chap who got beheaded in Iran was North West too wasn't he? Liverpool?

[TimberWolf]

The Yanks would have just lobbed in a hand grenade.

[Zoiderman]

Agreed, we don't know all the facts.

We do know some:

1. They were sent to rescue the hostages
2. The hostages are no longer alive
3. The Italians were not notified

I would call them facts myself.
