LEARN FROM MAJOR-GENERAL (Retired) SITIVENI RABUKA:
When eight of Rabuka's soldiers were captured, he personally went to negotiate with the PLO and through the PLO (Fatah) to the Lebanese National Movement and Amal - the forerunners of Hezbollah. The leader of the group that was captured was Sarasau, now living in USA. Rabuka had a Court of Inquiry assembled to find out if there was any culpable neglect on the part of the local commander, then tightened up the Standing Operating Procedures (SOP) to prevent a recurrence. He did not ask UNIFIL HQ for help; he only sent in his SITREP (Situation Report) that some were captured and that he had gone directly to PLO-controlled Tyre pocket to negotiate for their release.
