MR BOTHA
Chairperson, the day of his arrest and two months prior to that, if you go back to Exhibit A and you look at the dates of the events which took place, you will see that 14 acts of terror took place in two months.  There was a lot of pressure on us to find a solution and to stop this wave of terror.
	I had a responsibility to gather the information, or the intelligence.  I have already referred earlier in my evidence to the fact that the situation in Natal drastically changed and no one was playing according to rules any more.  I made a decision by looking at the circumstances and also at his involvement in these acts of terror.
	The fact that he was a Commander who was in charge of other units, would have led to the fact that his elimination would also minimise the violence it might have been stopped by eliminating him.
