#1 "They say a prominent tribal leader and more than 10 of his relatives are among those detained..."

#3 Looks like he is using a weapon with accessories for urban combat (think SWAT.) I wonder how many guy are adding their own sighting devices etc? I have seen various sighting devices so I am wondering. The radio thing means this guy is a coms guy.

#4 Can someone who is knowledgable about urban warfare training please give me the benefit of your expertise and describe how these soldiers wage urban warfare under these conditions? Somebody our family cares about is in the middle of Urban Warfare School in Okinawa. Anybody who reads my usual comments probably knows that "my military knowledge, tho' I'm plucky and adventury/ Has not yet been brought down to the beginning of this century." (with apologies to WS Gilbert)
