That is why I mentioned earlier, from my perception as to the bigger picture behind the attack, I mentioned in my evidence-in-chief, it looked to me as if it had a deterrent effect because I was told specifically to keep aside some SZ6s in case there's a response and we have to do a counter-response.  That's how I understood it.  Whether that was indeed the case, only someone like the Commander or the senior officials can explain.
