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 
and that of the sanctuary, the CIA would bomb them along with the target.

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.
