The surveillance location posed no issues.
At least in terms of elevation, it provided an overlook of the building where Baghdadi was located.
Baghdadi had very high security requirements.
Typically, he maintained a bodyguard team of at least 30 people. These were his die-hard loyalists, who strongly agreed with his extremist ideology and were willing to follow him with their lives. Battle quality aside, their combat will was certainly commendable.
Song Heping observed through night-vision goggles from the building for a while and quickly sketched a rough terrain map.
Then he marked the position of each bodyguard on the handheld PDA.
It was a habit.
Even with many advanced devices available now, he still kept to the habit of hand-drawing terrain maps.
Although it seemed somewhat redundant, Song Heping believed this to be the safest method.
"It looks like Baghdadi is still inside the building."
