Myself and some of the more senior members were taken by an officer in charge to do surveillance in this area where we were supposed to do duty, and when we entered the residential area the casspir vehicle in which we were being conveyed, came to a halt and all our, my colleagues cocked their weapons and told us that we would rather, we should do that as well, because things were going to turn ugly.   We entered the residential area and within half an hour, 14 petrol bombs had been lobbed at the vehicle.  The casspir was on fire, and several shots had been fired at the casspir as well as from the casspir into the crowd.   It was a very frightening experience for me, I realised that this was war in the true sense of that word.  I had not expected anything like this.
