The SAS is a long way away. But 1st Commando Regiment and 2nd Commando Regiment and Clearance Diving Team One are local - and all are trained to do what’s needed.

The SAS may be the best of the best - but any of these three can get the bloody job done.

I suspect those teams are smarter than me but I honestly can’t see any way out of this except to kill the terrorist and hope he doesn’t kill all the hostages when they do.

Sort of like the situation the Russians were in. No real way to do it without extreme risk to innocents.

Sorry, I thought Aussie Commandos were more Ranger than Delta. I know they did a lot of ops in the WOT.
