Raids followed a standard pattern:



  • Covert/surreptitious entry into building and movement to initial points. (Rifles hidden on persons and in bags/cases carried into building.)

  • Initiation with extreme violence of action. Any resisters are shot.

  • Immediate positive control and search of prisoners. Any resisters, or anyone they don't like the look of, are shot.

  • Segregation of prisoners into manageable groups. (Explosives were displayed to gain psychological dominance over prisoners.)

  • Movement of selected prisoners in small groups to the roof where terrorists posture and make statements for the press/cameras.

  • ALL SCENARIOS involving prisoners ended in execution of the prisoners and none included a plan for exfiltration of the terrorists. They plan to kill the prisoners and to die in place. The major take home lesson here is that although the enemy is known to be seeking the ability and opportunity to use weapons of mass destruction and of an unconventional nature, such as hijacked airliners, they are also spending a lot of time training to carry out attacks the old fashioned way. Attacks executed by small groups of dedicated personnel equipped with little more than small arms.
