    CrowBat:

    Thanks for this. It is under reported but is filled with things to be learned.

    Early in you post you mentioned " active paramilitary cells" were those insurgent cells?

    TV guided weapons where preferred in Algeria because of forests and towns. It is my understanding we mostly use laser guided or gps. Why is TV better than laser in those situations?

    Your comment about restrictive rules of engagement is interesting. If I remember correctly the western media reported security force activities as mostly being of the 'kill 'em all' type. It makes reporting easier I guess. Is there more available on the why and wherefores of the ROEs that were put in place?
