EDWARD WEBB
Chairperson, during the Webster judicial inquest and during the Harms Commission proceedings, I placed great emphasis on the fact that we, Special Forces, and therefore CCB, and in particular the CCB, we could only act outside the borders of the country.  That was not the complete truth.  Special Forces and elements of the CCB, not Region 6, it was before Region 6 was established, were already involved in activities within the country.  And here I specifically recall the Ribeiro incident.  Then Region 6 was founded and it was called the domestic or internal region, plus the fact that Region 6 were able to act in a covert fashion.  In other words that its actions would not be traceable back to Special Forces and to the Defence Force, it amounted to a region having been established which had the potential to act within the borders of the country.
