Yes sir.
	"I was then informed that the decision was made that the car bomb should go ahead, but that I should prepare a vehicle to receive the weapons from Special Ops unit there and to receive the formal instructions from Rashid during the week, in June.  
	On arrival in Botswana during June, I met with Rashid, explained to him the situation, explained to him the reconnaissance conducted by Webster, the fact also that I had conducted further reconnaissance personally (that is what I want to add there), but that there was some problem with the operation in that civilians would definitely be hurt in the operation if we did carry it out.  Rashid explained to me the Kabwe Conference and the change of policy and amongst other things, that the ANC would not be too careful any more in going after Security Force personnel.  I was told that the injury to civilians was a secondary consideration at that stage and that the main concern was to go (it should say here Security personnel) wherever they may be on duty or off duty.  The only equivocation given to me was that there should be absolutely no chance of children being killed in the operation.  
	It was on the basis of the sum total of all Intelligence information gathered, ...(indistinct) the fact that the problems I expressed of civilians being part of the casualties and which was carefully considered by my seniors and the fact that in spite of this I was given the go-ahead for the operation, that I agreed to go ahead with this operation.   I left Botswana on the 11th of June and I arrived on the morning of the 12th with the specific instruction to carry out the operation on the 14th of June, a Saturday.  I was given funds for the purchase of a car under a false name, and for additional material which could be used in preparing the car bomb.   
	I cannot recall the sequence of all the events very clearly, but what I can say is that the people who assisted me within the country with the operation were not aware that the car bomb operation was to take place.   We all operated on a strictly need to know discipline."
