The accent of the guy in the early video saying “tienes otra” to the guy by the truck in Spanish and received a rifle from that guy, sounded to me as a Mexican accent. But alas! Colombians!
The raid was well executed but the extraction was a disaster (unless that part was abandoned by their support team back at the safe house).
They dressed with the right attires to fool the Haitian guards at the house. They used a loudspeaker to broadcast it was a DEA operation to those guards, to back off and put their guns down.
The guards foolishly followed the instructions seeing the outfits and English instructions from the Haitian American guy. They had vests with DEA tags on them (not all but ones you can see well on the released videos).
Once they zip tied the guards, they proceeded into the house, with the same ruse, DEA agents.
They zip tied the employees and proceeded to grab Moise and his wife.
According to a Haitian official that was able (according to him)to speak to the First Lady, she said they hauled him to his home office and had a document for him to sign his resignation. He refused it, thinking they were indeed DEA in the confusion.
His wife pleaded with him to sign it,as she suspected a bad end to it, and he still refused.
They shot him point blank in the chest with full auto bursts from their rifles and shot him close range in the forehead and eye with a pistol, spent shells indicated 9mm.
They ransacked the bedroom and office looking for certain documents? And it seems shot the First Lady on reflex one burst.
They left as they came, on their caravan of vehicles slowly flanking them as they proceeded to the safe house, some blocks away.
As they fell back to the safe house, Haitian police was hot on their trail.
Something happened to their extraction plans. Seems to be, their employers in Haiti pulled the rug under their feet at the last minute.
This created the confrontations with the Haitian police, they had tried to avoid (they didn’t kill none at the raid, nor the ones they took hostage) any casualties on that side.
They broke up as their (seemingly) commanding officers were felled covering their retreat to a rallying point.
The fact that a large group was arrested without incident at the Taiwanese embassy grounds, tells us, their extraction plans went downhill pretty fast. Lacking their commanders, both got killed on their retreat, they had no further target or escape plan to execute.
The plan went south the moment they killed Moise. If we are to believe the statement of one of the Haitians captured by police. He stated the plan was to having him sign the resignation or kidnap him. His words.
I believe both commanders and the third ex-soldier were felled providing covering fire for the retreat, without having the intention to kill the police officers in the fire exchanges. That cost them their lives. Police were shooting to kill.
They had ample firepower and military experience to repel and overwhelm the Haitian police on their tail, which even Haitian gangs with no military skills pushed back and killed months ago. Same units.
It doesn’t add up, unless there’s an element we are still no privy to.
For an experience team of professional soldiers, a disaster of an extraction just doesn’t add up.
Let’s wait and see what else gets aired. They still have another 8 guys on the run to catch.
But this just doesn’t add up.
