Trained in Saigon, outfitted with captured enemy equipment,
then given a "one-way ticket to Cambodia," they were sent to
locate enemy sanctuaries. When they radioed back their position

One possibility, a senior intelligence official and a senior
military officer said, is that Mr. Hussein was above ground in
one of the houses that were not destroyed in the raid.
In the raid, the Air Force primarily used deep-penetrating
munitions because of their ability to destroy an underground
bunker. The person who was the primary source of the
information about the bunker was killed in the raid, according
to intelligence officials, but had described it using an Arabic
word, manzul, that could have been translated either as place
of refuge or as bunker.
