Happy Friday to the steemit.
In August 2000 a team of British troops joined in the UN peacekeeping force (UNAMSIL) in Sierra Leone, West Africa, was captured and held hostage by an armed militia group known as the West Side Boys.
The five-member British squad were then brought into the middle of the forest where West Side Boys militia were based.
They were held captive in a building, heavily guarded, and threatened to be shot dead if the British government did not immediately pay the ransom.
Honestly UNAMSIL envoy troops can still negotiate and meet with the five hostages.
One of the hostages could even secretly provide a piece of paper placed in the cap and contain a picture of the situation of the militia headquarters and the building where they were held.
With a piece of paper that British troops were immediately designed a military operation to free hostages with the password Operation Barras.
The British Special Forces of SAS and its famous paratroopers 1st Battalion Parachute Regimen, were secretly sent immediately to Sierra Leone using a number of Hercules aircraft.
While at the same time aju team consisting of a number of SAS personnel using a speed boat has managed to infiltrate the forest where the militia nest and settle.
The SAS aju team is equipped with complete weapons and advanced communication tools that can tap the conversation at a distance of tens of meters.
Based on information from the aju team, the British troops already alerted at the airport Sierra Leone was ready to launch an assault using a number of Chinook helicopters.
