Apparently the Spanish police agreed to placate a ‘bank hostage’ situation by allowing the radical to ‘escape’ uninhibited.
He was allowed to walk out of the bank in the company of 2 hostages.
As requested, the police provided him with a motorcycle and free access to the motorcycle.
Then, leaving the hostages behind, he was permitted to ride away down a clear roadway to make his ‘escape.’
This whole incident, shown on CBS television, complete with news reporting in English, can be seen on this 55-second video clip.
The concluding few seconds of this video shows the result of their planning.
If this happened in the U.K., America or Canada, the police would all be suspended and/or fired. The terrorist would get a new motorcycle, $500,000 compensation, an apology from the head of state, and his family would be brought over from Pakistan.
In my opinion, terrorists should be dealt with swiftly and harshly.
I hope he broke his neck.
