History is littered with the corpses of great men that understimated the strenght, inteligence or determination of their opponents. It is at our own peril that we underestimate the intellectual or physical capacities of these kidnappers. That is probably why they continue to get us on the cheap.

These bomb blasts have shattered the illussion of safety in the Shell Residential Areas, protected only by a few Mobile Policemen and dozens of unarmed and poorly paid Shell Policemen. It a known fact that an Inspector of Police in Shell earns a lot less than a Shell Driver. How motivated can these Policemen be in providing the level of security needed?

Stay safe everyone and have a trouble free Christmas. We are dealing with a different calibre of militant. I believe it will get a lot worse before it gets better.
