MS LOONAT
My instructions are it was, my client was led to believe as part of his meetings with his comrades that these people were known to be supplying firearms to the opposing party and the idea was get those firearms.  One, to obtain it for their cause and two, to stop them giving it to the IFP who were attacking them and the question of the ages of the people.  At the outset my client has been admitting that there was o intention to kill the old people it was merely to get the firearms and get out of there.
