Malbatt MISI Bakara (Behind the scenes)

A look behind the scenes of the training and preparation before the cameras roll on a movie. This particular film is about the untold story when two US strike force helicopters were shot down by the rebels in the Bakara market area of Mogadishu, Somalia
BBC News journalist Jonathan Fryer reported: "A rescue operation was launched by US forces, notably helped by Malaysian soldiers on the ground."
The commander of the Malaysian forces there at the time, Colonel Abdul Latif Ahmad (now retired Brigadier-General Datuk Abdul Latif Ahmad), was quoted as saying that the record needed to be set straight. Otherwise, Malaysians will be under the wrong impression that we were mere vehicle drivers ferrying them out of the battle scene.
The truth was, as written by his then deputy commander Lieutenant-Colonel Mohd Rozi Baharom (now a retired major-general, in his memoir published in 2011), that in the said UN operational mission of Malbatt 1 (Malaysian Battalion 1), 51 officers and 113 troopers of other ranks from the mechanised 19th Malay Regiment Corps under his operational charge were promptly despatched to join the rescue mission to save and extract the trapped US troopers in Bakara, while also ferrying out their dead ones.
The operation left many, including heroic Malaysian Armoured Personnel Carrier vehicle driver Private Mat Aznan Awang, shot dead, and nine other Malaysian mechanised troopers injured
