AT

French to English Other Military / Defense Burundi
"La 2ème cas de torture est que le lieutenant-colonel Michel Ndenzako, Commandant du Camp Ngagara, a été encerclé puis désarmé (lui et ses AT) par des policiers de la garde présidentielle." This is an excerpt from the following article:http://bamada.net/burundi-assassinat-du-general-adolphe-nshi... .

From context, I would imagine "AT" refers armed guards, body guards, security guards, etc.; however, I can't figure out what it actually means.
