the locals in the immediate vicinity of the incident know perfectly well WHO sucker-punched and captured them.....they know their faces, names, where they had been holed up to plan this, and they also know much more.....
Were I in command, I'd be putting every bit of squeeze I could on everyone within a radius of 1/2 a mile or so of the last-known location, starting with a total cordoning off......then every means to make them all as miserable as possible until a few of them talk.......the only way this occurred at all is with the blessing/and looking the other way of the locals.
agree 110%
