Mr Chairman, that is not correct. If one approaches it logically, the minibus taxi was full. I can't say there might have been fifteen or twenty, I didn't count, but let's assume that a minibus taxi fully laden, is fully laden, let's say there were fifteen people in sight in a relatively small vehicle compared with a Putco bus.
If we'd fired at that with two automatic assault rifles, then I am quite sure all fifteen people would have died. If one shoots at a larger vehicle with the same number of weapons, although there were more people in the bus, there would also be more room to miss. I believe that if we'd attacked that minibus taxi, the death figures would have been much higher than seven.
