Police were not sent to investigate the scene at night for fear that insurgents might have set a trap. A team of police, bomb disposal and forensic officers and soldiers were sent to inspect the area on Saturday morning. They found spent M16 cartridges scattered over the area. Investigators said the ranger team was attacked after conducting a night patrol in Taliang village. At least six attackers had hidden behind a wall about 30 meters away from the school building and opened fire at patrol members as they rested.
