#1 Crossfire Gazette, Soddy-style:
1) security forces had received information that a group of wanted men was in an apartment
2) Saudi forces surrounded the two-story building
3) gunbattle began which, again according to witnesses, continued for half an hour
4) woman passerby was caught in the cross-fire and was also killed

#2 But that is an actual cross-fire not a Bangladesh brand Crossfireâ¢.

#3 But don't the miscreants usually escape during a Saudi crossfire? Especially if the building has been surrounded?

#4 TW, deviants do escape and they require a special kind of surrounding. Miscreants, for some reason, aren't that lucky.

#5 Got it. I wasn't aware of that subtlety. Thanks, Sobiesky!

#6 Just an observation, I really don't know the difference. But if you follow Soddy news releases, if you just catch "deviants" in the piece, you don't need to read further to know that they escaped and some heavy surrounding was certainly going on. Miscreants simply = dead.
