Turns out 4-5 guys with AK's and some grenades took over an international hotel in central Kabul and killed 40+ people.
What's the excuse for the hotel not having any security?
- runjake 8y agoIt's a hotel in Afghanistan, a country presently immersed in turmoil.
- simplecomplex 8y agoIt had already been attacked and was full of international guests. In the capital city. 4-5 guys should not be able to take complete control of the hotel with no heavy weaponry. That means security is deficient or non-existent.
- ricardobeat 8y agoWhat kind of daily security setup can protect against 5 gunmen with AK47s?
- ip26 8y agoYou don't necessarily need to meet them head-on & emerge victorious, just delay them long enough for backup to arrive and/or deter them, again by showing that you will delay them.
- vsl 8y agoArmed and trained security detail/guards.
- thecrazyone 8y agoWhy aren't autonomous or remotely controlled rovers, or turrets ever installed?
- runjake 8y ago"Should not be able to take complete control" Sure, in a normally-functioning country with available leadership and logistical resources. But that is not Afghanistan, at present. That was my whole point.
