this is just disgusting !! the culprits must be punished, instead of safeguarding them....

GEO showed their passports, I think they were a family, dad, mom, their teenage daughter, their son and his pregnant wife...
This is a sad incident if indeed its true that they were unarmed and had no suicide vests however one must add the troops at the check post were simply following the SOP (standard operating procedure)
The SOP about vehicles and people approaching a check post is now set out to be very simple , challenge the vehicle or person to stop or identify , if they fail to do so proceed to terminate.
I know of another incident in SWA where an approaching person failed to indentify when challenged by the check post, which then opened fire and when the soldier who opened fire saw that the man who was killed was his own unit buddy he was devastated but the unit commanding officer and even the brigade commander personally went to that check post to let the soldier know that his made the right call.
