Bandits
Description
Depicts three Somali men seated on the ground, with their hands tied behind their backs. One of the men is blindfolded, while one other has his face covered completely. They are surrounded by three standing Australian peacekeepers in uniform. The three seated men were caught while fleeing with camels; they were called 'bandits' and were responsible for the murder of camel herders in Somalia.
