Said ammo may be 'run-out' on the hostages. Priority should not be placed on capture or end of this nightmare but on the safe recovery of the hostages first. No more collateral damage!
Dude, where have you been. It's a suicide mission. The attackers do intend to kill all hostages with maximum casualties to the rescue forces. By all indications, the hostages are just temporary collateral. It's bloody sad.
Police boss with positive message: "Tell hostages that help is steps away. Security men all over the building. Stay put."
Been trying to help. Suicide mission? Maximum casualties? Dangerous words those!! Isn't that a deadly assumption?
I would rather they be engaged in negotiations and nobody else dies, even if such negotiation was to take a month than rush in on assumptions, end it soon, but lose another so many lives
What? You must be joking. These idiots came to kill not to negotiate. At this time may be an ambush might do. More hostages will be saved.
Bro, everything changes when you are a hostage or have a loved one as hostage. Its when you wish you matter, or atleast have one amongst you that matters.
This situation calls for intelligent, well thought analyzed and sober decisions. Emotions will only lead to more deaths.
Has anyone taken time to talk to them? Have a psychologist gauge their intentions, state of mind. Or just talk to them while someone else stealthily steals his way in and trys to rescue hostages?
Gun battle itawes saidia? Imagine it was you in there as hostage while police pumped bullets
