Re: forget the terrorists, this is worse - much worse!

Each round will have to be accounted for irrespective of the main event. You might recall the events of March 1988 when members of security force team removed the threat of IRA bombers on Gibraltar. Three unarmed members of an IRA Cell where shot dead at close quarters in public. The out cry across the world about British Shoot to kill Policy sent shook waves throughout the establishment……..Members of the security force team were threatened with prosecution, the fact that large amounts of explosives had been placed by the IRA cell and that there were fears of a radio or remote trigger being carried by them did not in many eyes constitute a reason to execute the terrorist in the manner in which they died. We are unfortunately back to the “what If” scenario.
