Thank you.
Mr. Bell, I'm going to put some questions to you in a rather rapid way. I would ask that you try to provide answers in a succinct manner to the best of your ability.
I want to begin with testimony from the former Chief Sloly, who stated that based on his intelligence in the early stages of the procession towards the convoy and the ultimate occupation, they estimated that it would be for only a couple of days. It would be about a weekend.
Was that assessment based on information you would have provided to him, given your responsibilities for gathering intelligence?
