I wonder what was being carried in the attacked vehicles though ?.

Its usually the vehicle they want.

Presumably diamonds in that part of the world ?.

Unlikely.


So why were they heavily armed, in uniform and driving a

If you needed an RPG on the continent of Africa, I'm

manage to carry small stuff like that.

It makes you wonder what the police department drives.
