yep, it was a mess. I don't think an operation to get bin Laden will end up the same way. In Somalia, they were trying to get one guy, in Afghanistan they'll be told to "get them all" because its war. Rangers are good at military actions and not so good at police actions.

Five terrorist suspects arrested in Macao Monday, 17 September 2001 1:11 (ET) Five terrorist suspects arrested in Macao By SUSANNE PADILHA HONG KONG, Sept. 17 (UPI) -- Five Pakistani men found with instructions to attack U.S. targets were arrested in the Chinese enclave of Macao, the South China Morning Post reported Monday. Sources close to the Macao investigation said two small suitcases and a travel bag were seized containing papers showing U.S. targets in Hong Kong and Macao to be attacked in case of a U.S. military operation against Afghanistan. The Pakistanis were arrested late Sunday at the Lisboa Hotel in Macao and a private apartment in Hong Kong. All had expired visas for the territories. The arrests were made after the United States Consulate in Hong Kong submitted a list of names to the Macao Security Intelligence Unit. The list was also given to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government. The anti-terrorist operation was continuing at the mainland border early Wednesday. A Macao government spokesman declined to comment. The U.S. Consulate in Hong Kong, which also acts for Macao, announced it would be closed Monday. A statement said they needed to look at security but did not elaborate. A decision to reopen would be made at a later date. An emergency number for U.S. citizens was issued but has been continually engaged. A spokeswoman for the Hong Kong Security Bureau last night refused to confirm it had received a list of names, saying officials would not comment on operational matters. However, she said the SAR government was actively cooperating with several countries in the fight against terrorism. After meeting U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell in Washington last Thursday, Chief Secretary Donald Tsang Yam-kuen said he had received no specific request for help in the aftermath of the terror attacks. Portugal returned Macao to China in December 1999 after ruling the territory for more than 450 years. -- Copyright 2001 by United Press International. All rights reserved. --
