A security analyst who has worked in counter-terrorism with the British Army and Scotland Yard, Charles Shoebridge, says the officers involved in Manila's bus siege showed great courage - but they were not properly trained or equipped for the task.
Here are 10 areas where, in his view, they could have done better.




1. Determination
2. Lack of equipment
3. Lost opportunity to disarm the gunman
4. Lost opportunity to shoot the gunman
5. Satisfying the gunman's demands
6. Televised proceedings
7. No element of surprise
8. Safeguarding the public
9. Using the gunman's brother to negotiate
10. Insufficient training
