Hmm, maybe. Think the order might have gone out on this today as a result.........probably set up for a while, waiting for the moment. This was it. I fear for what else is in their pipeline.
Would have preferred capture and a very long and very miserable life in the clink for him, but doubt it was ever likely given his MO and location. Suspect he'd have probably blown himself up if was in anything like an 'about to be captured' situation - taking others with him.
