Our bathroom window overlooked the Aden Supply Depot. Every time an incident occurred the Army would set up road blocks and round up suspects who would be searched and released if there was no reason to detain them. When a major event took place the suspects would be taken to the Supply Depot, put against the wall, searched and interrogated. Mostly they were released but they could equally be sent to Fort Murbot for further questioning. Here is one of a series of slides that I took during such an occasion.

Incidentally, on the left you can see the back (south) side of the flats on Maalla Straight which took most of damage coming from "up the hill". I can remember one night a blindicide (RPG) round hitting one of the flats. Luckily for the inhabitants it embedded itself in the matrix of the air-conditioning unit and didn't kill or hurt anyone.
