I am happy to leave it to the police to decide whether to shoot, and whilst I can see the advantages in questioning these peopel i think it could create problems if they remain on the scene. But I'm not sure the shoot first policy is a deterrent- it didn't put off the Barcelona terrorist- and maybe some of them want to be killed so they can go to wherever they think they will go
I doubt that modern interrogation tactics would wear down a true believer
why do you think that, douglas? These guys aren't graduates of the MI6 university of resisting questions; they're just religious fanatics who almost certainly haven't thought through the consequences of getting caught, since most of them intend to die. Being captured alive is a major disruption to their plans, and security forces ought to be aiming to milk them for all they can get.
