I would not be surprised if in the ensuing earthquake rescue operations, a number of SOF A teams plus perhaps some SEAL teams and even SAS and Delta lads "stayed behind" for some long-term "snoop and poop" operations coupled with some discrete targeting. Sort of like when lads from SOG, or in-country LRRP types would go in with an air assault near the Laotian border and "stay behind" after melting into the jungle with the infantry. Difficult, extremely dangerous missions, but with big payoff.
Good. I hope so. My first thought when that earthquake happened was, "I'll bet it's to flush out the terrorists." As far as the people presently saying no terrorist are there, well...they're just afraid if they admit anything they or their family will be history. Those terrorist people are just a hidin' in dark corners everywhere, like little cockroaches.
