I wouldn't want to be a resident in one of those nearby towns right now.
I hate to think what could happen to those poor soldiers.
Another link said they were taken away by car so they probably took them far away, quickly.

Knowing the atrocities the bad guys commit I'm sure the soldiers would avoid capture at any cost. I wonder if they ran out of ammo?
