New Anti-Terror Guidelines for Police: Shoot Them Now, Talk Later

"Shoot now and negotiate later" is the new directive for police when confronting terrorists in a closed place, such as a bus or building, Haaretz reported Thursday.

The new guidelines change the tactic whereby a negotiating team would arrive before a SWAT team could do what it came to do and eliminate any threat of terror by killing the terrorist.

The change might meet with disapproval from organizations such as the United Nations and "human rights" organizations that accuse Israel of using "disproportional force" by killing a terrorist before he or she kills someone else.

The same voices often add that "Israel has a right to defend itself."
