No. AQ doesn’t play sofball when they’re on a roll.
They prefer to select and take their own hostages in quick grab and runs, then play the media game. Play along with an enemy they won’t do, because if you try playing their game you’re weak and they’ll show their contempt.
This was a heavy, sustained assault with a significant force, and they obviously had detailed pre-worked information on the target.
That doesn't mean O isn't dumb enough to agree to cripple the security in exchange for a (worthless) promise they'll negotiate with him later for the hostage release.
