I have seen no evidence on the internet that an Mi-24 was used in this action? Can this actually be verified? --Wikipediatastic 13:43, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

There's a South African mercenary pilot called Neall Ellis who was running around Sierra Leone under the employ of their government with a helicopter gunship (and it was an Mi-24 IIRC), according to the book 'War Dogs' by Al J. Venter. As such it's entirely possible it was him, and if they were hiring mercenaries, it's unlikely to be information disclosed to the press. 41.241.198.157 07:14, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm reading the book right now. Venter mentions Ellis' presence at the operation on page 132. --BrokenSphere 03:52, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
