I don't want to be argumentative.  I didn't enquire, but I don't know if they were all civilians and I don't know if someone who works in the City Council there are civilians, because they had their own security unit, which was I think involved at one stage in the operation against the comrades who retreated from doing the operation on a mobile, the Engen refinery.  They were involved also in killing the comrades.  So I can't say if they were civilians because they worked for the City Council.  They were armed, some of them.
