A manhunt now? A bit late

Where's the anti-terrorism unit? Has this not been been declared an act of terror? Where are the MK people with their ground forces and guerilla training? Let's see just what they were doing in exile.

Are we going to have another empty coffins display and the the president with his cabinet attenting?
