Manila Bus Hijack


A former policeman armed with an assault rifle had seized the bus in an apparent attempt to get his job back.

22 Hong Kong tourists were taken hostage along with three Filipinos - a driver, a guide and a photographer.

Ten Things the Philipines Bus Siege got wrong - according to British Army and Scotland Yard, Charles Shoebridge:

1. Determination
2. Lack of equipment
3. Lost opportunity to disarm the gunman
4. Lost opportunity to shoot the gunman
5. Satisfying the gunman's demands
6. Televised proceedings
7. No element of surprise
8. Safeguarding the public
9. Using the gunman's brother to negotiate
10. Insufficient training
