over here .... and large double door up here....
and staircase appears to come up like this and
go out.... some kind of railing where these Xs are.

down this side of the building but on the first
floor which is page 2 .......
there's .....at the top of these landings......
there's a guards, like this, and there's like

out here.. .but there's two hallways..lookiny down
like this.....and there's a door on this hallway
that's normally closed but it's open right now.

a...and even a larger office area with a small

confusing, I guess. I can't remember which floors
these are on.
#66 Well, perhaps we can listen to the playback of the

remember these area but I can't remember which
floors they were on. I don't remember where I
said they were.
#66 Ok. Why don't you just continue and then we can go
back to the tape.
#01 Ok. There's ...uh...again by the stairs...there's
a hallway that you can see a window at the end of.
And, to the right there's a waiting area and there's
an interior office.. .door here.. .and there's a
door here and there's here...and then therP.'s a
interior office...I had the feeling like there's
...uh...two guards in here and there's a pair
of hostages in this room... both male. . .and there
was another guard outside this door ...and...uh..
I think that's the only guards that were there.
I had a feeling there might be another guard in
this hallway but he might be out here and strolls
in the hallway once in a while. And back here, there
appeared to be two more offices that were empty.
That's page 3.
And there was...uh...under.this area...under the
area where the teletypes were there was a...uh..
long hallway with a window...a very large ......
this being a stair area over here... there was a
uh...like a library... for some reason I want to

I know what is bothering me about the bathrooms.
I didn't indicate it here, but somewhere,
somewhere behind this room, I don't know how to
explain that, there's a bathroom.
Page 6 is building two. Better not write it up

This is a very large building. It has an entrance
way here, and there's an entrance door down here.

is so important, but there is four guards back here.

#01 // This room had three hostages.. .and this room
had three hostages. I'm signifying with the
stars again. There was also a guard in each of
these rooms. The hostages were tied and here
"there was a guard and the triggers for the
claymores were out here. And this was a big
bay area which just some small stuff stacked
way down here. Now that doesn't make any
sense to me. I don't remember seeing a door'
remember seeing a hallway going that way. Just
a stairs and a hall this way. It may be that
that appears to be a second floor bay area and
I'm just looking down on what's stacked on
the lower floor.
#66 So you are saying that there's not a full second
floor, then?
#01 I don't know now. I remember seeing only this
hallway and the stairs, though.
#01 I don't know. I don't know. These are definitely
windows here, though. I'd be guessing if I said
anything about that.
#66 Now I address your attention to the roof. How did
the guard get on the roof?
#01 I sense the guard is .......page 8...on the roof
the guard is on the roof somewhere in this area
and he's by a door. Both he, this guard is got
...uh...some kind of a shot gun-there's something
wrong with the shotguns and I don't know what it is.
And this guy, right here, that controls the triggers
to the claymores has got one. And there's some kind
of a door here, also, where this guy on the roof is.
Let me see the picture. Maybe I can see if there's
a door or something down here. This might even be
a guard standing here.

#66 As a matter of fact, now looking at the overhead
imagery we can see what might be the shadow of a
guard on the roof, right there.
#01 There might be some kind of a door or something there.
There is apparently is more guards down here, too.
If that's what those are.
#01 What I saw was somebody standing by a door on this
end of the roof holding a funny looking shotgun.
#66 Anything you want to add?
#01 Just there's something wrong with the shotgun, I
don't know what it is...and there's...uh...
I tried to see how these guards felt and...I got
a flood of two emotions.. .1 got a sense that they
were very, very important for some reason. I
