Thanks BlackFeather! Would you happen to have a link to the video with the guy getting executed? It was on BBC website for a while can't find it. And sorry about the mix up. I thought it was Kenya, but maybe only the execution was in Kenya, but now I am not so sure, maybe Nigeria but definitely in Africa. Anyhow it makes one think twice about the rules on the ground in a foreign country. What you don't know can really truly kill you. Never assume our rules make sense everywhere. I wonder how much of this is culture and values and how much is really bad training. If no one perhaps showed those folks how quickly you can get killed may explain them waiting so long for man with gun there before taking him out.
