Doug,

There are some important differences between The Sudan and Columbia:

- the Columbian pipelines are in mountains and jungle; the Sudan pipeline is in the flat desert ...there's nowhere for "ambushers" to hide, and the saboteurs can be seen for miles as they approach the pipeline

- the Sudanese pipeline is buried 8 feet deep in sand ...the saboteurs would need a bulldozer and lots of explosives to disable it

Bill.

You Said:

"Anybody can sabotage a pipeline. Just look at Colombia. The problem is for
the crew who goes out there to fix it. Will they be alone or will there be an ambush set
up waiting for you? Some of the most stinging defeats inflicted by the Rebels in
Colombia upon the Colombian Govenrment forces have been in this scenario....'nuf
said? "
