This was the RSM and his driver, almost certainly high up in their hatches having just left the base. They were relatively new to Kandahar, so maybe hadn't had time to develop the paranoia necessary in the theatre. Depending on the size of the charge, either blast effects or bits of car might have gotten them anyway, but we'll never know...

Agreed in principle with the 'exclusionary zone', but it would defeat the purpose of being there in the first place to start shooting everybody who looked at you wrong, n'est-ce pas? It's a damned-if-you-do-damned-if-you-don't moment.
