Mr Chairperson, one would have to determine the range of mortars, two whether one could actually fire mortars from a wooded area and I would submit that it is not possible to do that, because for mortars you actually need an open area, because when the mortar strikes at anything or hits anything, it will explode.  But if I were to say to you at the operation at Voortrekkerhoogte, when we used the rocket launchers, we sought to strike at the targets within the Voortrekker Military Headquarters.  Often you will find that mortars and rockets are very inaccurate, they have a range and can land within a vast range, and they could be off by as much as a few hundred metres.   In the case of the mortars, depending on the trajectory, the direction of fire, what you had to get over, what you had to lob it over, etc, it could be used, it may not be used.
