Page "Bravo Two Zero" Paragraph 27

At about midday on 26 January, Ryan and MacGown were stumbled upon by an ‘ old ’ ( according to MacGown ) goat herder tending a flock of goats.

After discussions involving killing the man, MacGown decided to go with him to locate a vehicle, while Ryan decided it was not safe to do so and remained where he was under the agreement that MacGown would return by 1830 hrs.

MacGown took with him Phillips ' M16 / M203, but left his belt kit, in order to not " cut such an aggressive figure.

" MacGown walked with the goat herder for about four hours, before encountering a group of men, with a Toyota Landcruiser vehicle.

According to Ryan, MacGown shot and killed an unarmed Arab as he ran towards the vehicle, followed by two more armed with AK-47s.
