looking at the bullet holes all over the car even near its petrol tank it appears that the firing team had no issue with accidentally detonating the explosives through their reckless firing or blowing up the car fuel tankwhat if one of the occupants of the car had been wearing a jacket and was ready to go to his version of paradise? how is a soldier to know? when they do take a risk like this and get blown to bits by the terrorist, then they are still blamed by the PDF morons for not being preemptive. Damned if they do, damned if they do not.
they should have isolated the car and blown it to bits from a distance
exactly for that reason they should have subdued the guy instead of opening fire on the entire family;y. at such close range they could see that their suspect was the driver and not wearing anything after killing him they sprayed the bullets on the entire family. the surviving 3 kids are lucky they didn't get sprayed like their elder sister and their parents
absolutely correctA key conclusion that must always be kept in mind: the terrorist that uses an innocent shield is the one to blame for any collateral damage.
check out any hostage situation for example. the authorities dont complain or dwell on why the culprits are playing dirty. they accept it as a hazard and do everything in their power to neutralize the situation through force or negotiation.
it will be great if our policemen are trained by some veteran police negotiators and chiefs from big American cities here in Pakistan. I know that American police gets a lot of slack for being trigger happy but there are extremely good officers and negotiators that have neutralized the threat with minimum force and other less than lethal tactics
a former Punjab IG on a program was complaining that these CTD guys are too much trigger happy and they loose the vision that they are cops,, NOT soldiers and this is why he always objected to blanket fire training of his policemen by the army. he advocates professional training with restraint and control for these CTD officers to prevent such tragedies in future
