There was a time when we didn't have military policemen at the gates of Army posts. Taking the guards off the gates saved the Army money and manpower. But because of terrorist activities in the mid- and late-'90s, and because of intelligence information, that idea changed. By 2001, we were upgrading security on posts.

In one of them, the attackers went in on horseback, and in the other one apparently trucks of the Sudanese army.

I started shooting out of interest in archery and there wasn't an archery range close enough for me to shoot at.

And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken unto me, saith the LORD, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, but hallow the sabbath day, to do no work therein; / Then shall there enter into the gates of this city kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall remain for ever.

For if ye do this thing indeed, then shall there enter in by the gates of this house kings sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, he, and his servants, and his people.

Yes, because we have a lot of bad experiences from a former time in the Yugoslav period. The Yugoslav army has -- Macedonian army now -- has not a lot of professional skills to fight against guerrillas. Their frustration will be against the civilians.

I thought we were a little flat in the beginning (against Army). I was thinking about taking a time-out and getting on them a bit (after Army started with a 19-9 lead), but I have trust in them to get themselves through it and turn it around. And they did.
