LAWRENCE GERALD WASSERMAN
We were conditioned by speeches of politicians and directions by senior officers to do everything in our power to confront the revolutionary onslaught at all costs.  The victims in the present case were all members of MK I was told and who had previously committed political acts of terror.  In view of the above I was of the bona fide belief that what I did in the present instance in order to combat or derail the revolutionary onslaught and to protect the Government and National Party from political embarrassment fell within my express or implied authority.  I did not participate in this event for any personal gain or driven by personal malice, by personal spite or malice and I received no reward.
