They need to pull a Jack Bauer on these "suspects" so they'll talk freely about who they're working for and where they get their cash and weapons from.

Kinda cool when you consider that the soldiers, wearing flak vests, web gear, knee pads, boots, kevlar, etc, chase down these thugs who are probably in light street clothes.

Good going, 10th Mountain! Because the perps kidnapped Egyptian citizens, how about extraditing this scum into the kind and gentle hands of the Egyptian equivalent of secret police?
