There were quite a few Thin Men on this mission, I killed the majority of them, disarmed the bomb and then killed the reinforcements, but couldn't find any more. The mission didn't end though so I kept searching and eventually stumbled upon the last 3 Thin Men after combing through every corner of the map. Still got them all without any injuries though!
