DAILY POST: How RECCE COMMANDOS used robots to eliminate the five AL SHABAAB dogs at DUSIT D2 – these men deserve a pay rise 04:03 Friday January 18, 2019-Fresh details have emerged over how Kenya elite officers commonly known as Recce Squad used robots to eliminate the five Al Shabaab terrorists who raided Dusit D2 complex on Tuesday afternoon.
According to one Recce officer who requested a condition of anonymity, the elite squad used 14 commandos to access the hotel’s complex. The elite group formed two groups of seven officers which were operating from the third floor using an electronic signals-powered robot to survey the situation on the seventh floor. At this point, knowing that the terrorists' only remaining option would be to try and access the lower sixth floor, one team moved up and locked the entrance to the sixth floor. The team then settled on the fifth floor while the second team used ropes to access the seventh floor through the sides of the building and entered through a window. At this time, the other unit decided to use the darkness to rescue the people held in the other blocks, under the fear that waiting for daybreak would give the terrorists a chance to strike. This was because the officers had disconnected power on the building to disable the lifts and limit the terrorists' movements. “It was dark and we knew the floor where they were trapped was up there. We moved to the other blocks and managed to free 174 people who had been trapped for close to 12 hours,” the officer said. After releasing the innocent people, it was now time to complete the job. The team moved in and stormed the room where the terrorists were hiding at 4 am. They killed them like dogs despite trying to hurl grenades to our gallant police officers.
