For no other purpose.  In this case I wish to repeat for the umpteenth time that this target was a military target.  We were not callous.  It was very specifically targeted against South African Air Force personnel, and that is what we aimed to hit.  One regrets the loss of innocent lives of civilians, but one must state, we were striking at a military target.  We did not think it was terrorism.  In fact the ANC in all its statements lauded that operation.
