The Sirte Massacres {masterlist}

October 15, 2011
(incomplete, last updates Dec. 1)

A Prelude
My Situation in Sirte article chronicled the plight of a holdout city subjected to a total and medieval siege. Many of the refugees, some cited at that link, complained of the situation in the city at the hands of the rebels they were effectively surrendering to. To rebuke from the bearded, heavily-armed, and brutal "Government forces" in control of them, they tried to tell journalists how they had suffered heavy random shelling and bombing, with thousands of killed, mostly civilian, and the rest left without electricity, water, medicine, fuel, or food. The evidence backs them up that everything possible was denied to underscore the message of surrender or die.

But one particular man mentioned none of these problems to his new rebel overlords and the gathered media. Instead, to the UK Telegraph, he described a whole seperate class of atrocities unfolding, all the fault of the Gaddafi loyalists and due to a lack of rebel control.
"The situation isn't great," said one resident who did not give his name as he left the city, where he said Gaddafi's forces were moving "like gangs" through the streets. "There have been executions," he said, naming two men who he said had been executed on Thursday. He also said he had witnessed executions in front of the house of a local family, whose name he gave as Safruny.
For a while now there's been a reported pattern of brutal Gaddafi atrocities right before a rebel conquest, with the results found just after. In reality the massacres often seem to happened just after as well, despite the rebel stories (consider the Abu Salim trauma hospital). Further, Libya has proven itself full of people like this unnamed witness ("for fear of reprisal," to be sure, even in mid-October), and it's not surprising that even in Sirte there would be one waiting to crawl out with tales like this.

Even the well-armed NTC commander involved in seeding this story to the Telegraph fears retribution, it seems, and was less than forthcoming with his identity.
An NTC commander on the outskirts of Sirte, separately showed Reuters a handwritten list of families whose members were said to have been executed in Sirte. The list, which he said he compiled with information from people inside the city, included the Safruny family.

The commander gave his first name as Saleh but declined to give his family name. He said other attacks on suspected NTC sympathisers had been carried out. "One man, they cut him like this," Saleh said, dragging his finger from the ends of his mouth across his cheeks. "Another, they cut his lips."
Now any of the corpses just found that are defaced in such a way will be "proven" regime loyalist crimes. Take note and sharpen your knives. Also, don't expect many public records to help verify identities to have survived rebel - er NTC - destruction over the past six months. It seems to have become a free-for-all.

A Promise
On October 12, TeleSur's correspondent in Sirte, the brave Diego Marin reported on the rebel push into the city's center and its methods for clearing Sirte, house to house. (Youtube posting):
"The procedure by which [captives] are being processed is not very clear. ... Our worst suspicions were confirmed by rebel soldiers here who told us that who will be found with weapons, there is no doubt that he will be executed. This situation is worrying us."
If they're armed, there's no doubt they'll be shot dead, even if captured alive. If they have no weapons, it depends, apparently. There are a lot of armed loyalists inside.


42 at Mutassim's House
This story emerged along with the alleged capture of one of colonel Gaddafi's more prominent sons and national security adviser, Muttassim. Once again, it was a rumor. The victories may be largely fake (for both sides), but the brutality is real.

Possibly Some of the 42
(currently included in the above post, but to be split-off) CNN has Dan Rivers there, who apparently didn't get the same memo Marin did. Rivers, who has been shown executed "Gaddafi victims" a time or two before, reports (a Youtube posting) on a number of bound and executed men shown piled next to a wall (see image below). Are they following through on what they told Marin? A rebel-affiliated "hospital official" named Abdullah al-Manghoosh told CNN:
We're here to check. We don't know what happened. We don't know the story. But clearly they [the victims?] are revolutionary fighters.
It's not clear who they are. They were captives, bound with plastic ties, piled helter-skelter, mostly face down. There were a total of 42 of them, arrayed in the areas right around what's said to be the home of the Libyan leader's son, Muttassim Gaddafi. It seems more than likely they were killed just as or shortly after the rebels took control of the area. Again the victims we can see are mostly black, and some of them were horrifically burnt alive. 

10 Victims, Burnt, Run Over, Burnt Again 
(also possibly part of the 42 at Mutassim's, but already split-off)
A real horror show, from what's called Hay al Dollar, or Dollar neighborhood. Some of the 10 (or perhaps 11 originally) victims were apparently both run over with trucks and also burned to skeletons. Others, primarily black-skinned, were found just just piled by a wall on October 12, when rebels said they'd just taken the area. These were then slightly burnt sometime before filmed again on the 14th. Hmmm...

Hospital Dead: About 35
I mention these in case the rebels are again using death by neglect in a hospital to cover for their brutal massacre within a hospital. From Global Post:
Dr Hesham Alhooni, a pediatric surgeon from Tripoli, said a further estimated 35 bodies were also found at the Ibm Sena Hospital in Sirte ... [including] "a small baby, who died before we were able to get access to the building because there was no one to treat them.”
[...]
“They were not the bodies of patients. They looked like rebel fighters,” said Alhooni, who has been treating patients still trapped inside the hospital for the past two days. “We found them in a closed off ward. Some were tied, some not.”

On Friday, a Gaddafi loyalist that was captured by revolutionary troops confirmed that rebel prisoners were being held in the hospital in a secret prison.

Alhooni said these men may have been executed some time ago.
More at Home: ??
Again from Global Post:
There had also been many bodies found inside homes within the area, [Alhoony] added. These too had been executed with their hands tied behind their backs.
30 Wrapped Bodies in District Two
30 more victims,all executed by loyalists, say NTC people. Found in the blasted-apart rebel stronghold, all were wrapped in plastic sheets. There are few details reported, and no photos, even of them wrapped. Were they killed before or after rebels took the area? Clues vary. I'm going with the latter. Why were they wrapped?I have a couple of guesses. See the link.

Executions in the Capture of the Gaddafi Convoy
Apost for executions of the anonymous guards and other patriots who were needlessly slaughtered. For those of greater fame:
The Sirte Massacres: Leader Muammar Gaddafi
The Sirte Massacres: National Security Adviser Mutassim Gaddafi
The Sirte Massacres: Defense Minister Jabr

53 Executed Loyalists: the Mahari Hotel Massacre
Peter Bouckaert, the main investigator here for Human Rights Watch said on October 24 after seeing the Misrata Brigades'work. “If the NTC fails to investigate this crime it will signal that those who fought against Gaddafi can do anything without fear of prosecution.”

10 in the Water Basin, 13+ Others
Another grisly scene, reported in late October by Human Rights Watch. In just-taken district two, ten badly decomposed bodies had been tossed into a stagnant pool. There's also a video of three of them, two of which are clearly beheaded.

Two others at least at the end of this video apparently filmed November 4 - one is slaughtered in much blood, another obscured, apparently with a bandaged head.

Running Death Toll (updated Dec. 1)
17 filmed by CNN
10/11 in Hay al Dollar
42 by Mutassim's house (may include the 17 and/or 10/11)
30 in district two
0-35 at the hospital
Unknown, executed in homes (insert 2-20, arbitrary)
At least ten following Gaddafi killing (insert 10-50, arbitrary)
At least three: Muammar and Mutassim Gaddafi, Defense minister Jabr
53 at the hotel Mahari
23 known in district two
two others...

The total number of suspicious, likely NTC, executions in Sirte is a reasonable range starting at 162, and having an upper end of something like 286 shown or reported to us, so far.

The Mass Grave
The mass grave of nearly 300 victims, including the 53 from the hotel and probably all or most of the others mentioned, emerged next. Only some of these dead (10%? 75%?) were obviously executed. CBS News, October 25, reports on the aftermath in Sirte, the mass execution at the hotel, and this mass grave. There's some confusion over the separate "invaders' cemetery" mentioned in that report, but this passage is interesting:
The new government has been slow to confront allegations of atrocities by rebel fighters, despite repeated calls for them to do so.

"You have to bear in mind that these young man have seen their friends killed in front of them, who saw their cities burned, who saw their sisters raped. I am amazed at their self-restraint," said Ali Tarhouni, oil minister.

The evidence indicates that little restraint was shown.
More information and links will be forthcoming on this mass grave and related thoughts, and later a split-off post. The initial number suggested the number of unclaimed dead, mostly loyalist, partially executed, perhaps tortured, was not much higher than what they'd already told us about. It suggests few surprises. But that was on October 24, before the real clean-up started.

Images of the (Mass Grave?) Dead: 390 or More
If I'm not mistaken, the mass grave internees were given numbers and photographed prior to burial. What seems to be, purportedly, that set of photos has been made available on-line, on Facebook. Libya S.O.S. has the links, and explains:
More than 400 people were killed and thrown into sewer in Sirte

We apologize for the horrible scene, but to be honest, must be published as long as the image features as well as not to be more because the bodies were mutilated and decomposing and non-clear
DISTURBING IMAGES , WATCH THEM IF YOU NEED TO IDENTIFY SOMEONE
In case it gets pulled, I've saved at least the thumbnails, as multiple screen captures. I will have some notes on what they reveal fort hose curious, but not enough to look. To start with, the number is now larger than the "nearly 300" announced on the 25th. The numbers shown run, with some gaps, up to #390. Some faces show water-related decay to varying degrees up to near-skeleton, others nothing obvious at all. Other faces have severe burns/melting or bizarre distortions I can't explain, and stuff coming out of their mouths, amid more human-looking faces of pain and horror. They seem to all be of fighting-age males, some hospital patients, a roughly equal mix of black, lighter-skinned Arabs, and mixed-race people. These are head-shots, so anyone beheaded (with the head missing) is not included, surely explaining at least some of the numerical gaps. If the body is missing, the head may be shown. I'm not sure if any of the photos shows that. There do seem to be several eye-gouging victims, and at least one eye-popping victim.

    Ruined Sirte becomes a killing ground as Gaddafi loyalists face destruction, but mete out death of their own

    It is amazing how miracle witnesses who escaped massacre at the last moment always pop up. The NATO / NTC press people seem to be doing an outstanding job in locating these witnesses and getting them in contact with the Western press.

    Anis Faraj (Anis Farej) also appears on this report from CBC News.

  2. P.K., thanks.I was expecting more, of course. Witnesses who managed to escape while the soldiers tied their shoes, etc.are always a nice touch.

    I wonder also about those wrapped in plastic.Invisible inside? Have ANY corpses of those blasted behind the swiss cheese walls been shown? There have to be a few, and wrapping them in plastic, left unseen, claimed as gunshot executions (some "shot more than once" but you don't wanna see)... yeah, smartplan. Just like they did with the bomb-blastedremains of the Khamis brigade at their HQ in Tripoli...

    So I will read those today, scan for further news yet, and update.

    On the nochien... thing. I got it from where the link goes. The other site, I'd check, but it has a tendency to freeze my browser trying to load. (that's not your site, BTW, is it?) But thisone loads fine... I'll link to it too.

  3. Here is some disinformation that may start spreading. A blogger posted a picture of a mass grave of earthquake victims from Haiti, implying they were victims of the Black Genocide in Libya. Google image search reveals the true context.

  4. Thanks. I did look. The LIFE stamp tipped me off they wouldn'tlikely be the ones to have such a photo from Libya before anyone else. I did a quick search for similar pictures and found this: same mass grave, apparently, with surroundings that do not look like Libya.

  5. Sorry, PK, I didn't even read you clearly before responding - was just waking up. I thought you were saying the disinfo was this being passed off as Haitians. So to re-phrase myself, I agree. I doubt it will spread much further, though the commentators there seem a bit slow.

  6. It's not Sirte, but I found a first report about an alleged massacre in Bani Valid. The german "Welt" reports that the rebels found about 100 dead rebel fighters (!) in a hospital there.

    The only english report I've found in a quick search is from italian AKI which gives a website called al-Qurayna as source.

  7. Here is a primary source on Sirte bodies by Rasmus Tantholdt, International Correspondent of TV2 Denmark.

    Just found 7 bodies close to #sirte city center. They were all handcuffed. Looked like they had been dead for some days.

  8. The Danish video shows the location of the 7 + 3 bodies. It is next to a large open space, so it cannot be inside the built up area of the city. It must thus have been captured by well before October 12th.

    I tried to locate the place on Google Maps but was unable. The bodies are located next to a complex with a distinctive feature - round corners, so it should be possible to pinpoint the location based on the video.

  9. Satellite imagery, cool. Will have a look later on. I have a hunch these ten might be the same 11 found in "Dollar neighborhood", and the tires might be the ones they were run over with. Murder weapons ditched at the scene, all burnt a little bit... Some kind of UAE Sheikh Issa inspiration?

    Indeed - though the the still I had for Dollar (above) was low res, I can see it's the same spot shown at 0:30. In fact, another view shows this is also the same scene as the second photo, I think. Less massacrespots than I thought.

    The spot should be identifiable. Sirte's not huge. Could be fairly near the center - even downtown I doubt is packed with skyscrapers or anything.

    Felix: Haven't even looked at the Bani Walid story yet. Will likely be putting something up soon-ish once I do.

    ReplyDelete
  10. I found the spot:

    http://g.co/maps/ksre8

    It is next to a mansion inside a large walled garden, maybe Mutasim Gaddafi's house.

    The site is west of the city, very near the place where the western rebel attack reached a month ago.

  11. Petri, I think you nailed it. As you can see, I've shortened this post and made a new one.

    I was apparently confused on the "Dollar neighborhood" (Hay al Dollar) part. That seems to be the place with burnt people.I did see that too, the charred skeleton. I only saw the one, and that mysterious burnt patch of ground. Will be doing another split-off post on this soon. I typed out and Google translated some of the subtitles:

    A rebel fighter says:
    There a group sniskytter [snipers?]. But there are also mortars
    But not as many mortars as to afford us any resistance and make us afraid to move forward. God be praised is all is in order.


    And where the burnt area is shown:
    This is Gaddafi?
    Yes. look him straight. The proof is that they have burned them."

    ReplyDelete
  12. The colonel is dead now and perhaps for that reason the human rights groups dare to present a little bit more truth:

    HRW today accused the rebels to have executed 53 loyalists at Mahari Hotel in Sirte. Some other war crimes are also mentioned in the same press realease.

  13. CBS News: 300 bodies collected in Sirte on Thuesday, October 25. Total number of bodies in one graveyard: 572.

    Quote: Nearly 300 bodies, many of them with their hands tied behind their backs and shot in the head, have been collected from across Sirte and buried in a mass grave. The new government has been slow to confront allegations of atrocities by rebel fighters, despite repeated calls for them to do so.

  14. Linking to the CBS News article on Facebook reveals a thumbnail image of the massacre site that is not present in the article itself. A Google image search returns this arabic language page with two massacre images.

    These seems to be from the Mahari Hotel site 3km West of Sirte as reported by HRW

    I am unable to find the exact spot on Google maps. This link shows the entrance to the hotel:

  17. Sounds like a stupid mission. "I will stay and fight til the last drop of blood! Or until just before the last drops! Help, get me out of here! Oh, sorry, now we're all dead or captured."

    Why were the rebels so keen to help the foreigners escape? Was this a set-up? Did they instead bring Gaddafi to them? Mysteries...

    ReplyDelete
  18. Perhaps some of the 10 victims HRW saw in the water basin in district 2 are shown in a video just uploaded by libyansons.

    He mentions seven bodies in the video discription, I can only recognize three. But these perhaps were beheaded?

    ReplyDelete
  19. Interesting find. How do you find these things?

    I had a look and it's pretty gruesome. Ten cited, three shown, and it says "Find seven bodies." Is that a subtraction problem?

    I was struck with the tightness of the one's tan pants, til I realized his pants are down. The flesh is coming apart all over beneath the waterline. Two missing heads, the other (with the ribs showing) seems to be still headed, at an angle. Will look into it more.

    ReplyDelete
  20. I hope I'm not spamming you - I know you're busy with the Shahat piece, another excellent one.

    But I just found another realy though video with six beheaded guys uploaded by tota2clever. He says it's from Sirte, I haven't seen it before - or is it perhaps already in your archive with another origin?

    ReplyDelete
  21. Not spam, definitely. I can'talways respond or even fully read comments, but it's the luck of the draw.

    I didn't see any clearly missing heads, at least 12 bodies. The open area, plus the number six (as you mentioned) makes me think of the Gaddafi convoy massacre, which I'll need to write on eventually. But this isn't next to the main junkyard area... May have to let it sit for now, just spent 30minutes scanning videos for nothing.

    :(

    Not a guilt trip.Anything good, keepit coming.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I'm sorry if I spread confusion here. The video I linked above was deleted immediatly, probably because it was a false claim. Those six men seems to be victims of a mexican drug war,as explained in the comments of another copy I found now. They indeed don't look very arabic.

    It definitly has nothing to do with the twelve bodies from Tripolis/ al-Furjan. If I find something else to that case, I'm going to add it in the comments of the Tripoli massacres masterlist.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Ah...it did look like the right kind of area, and I thought the people looked Libyan enough... In fact, are we sure the Mexico part wasn't the excuse to hush this up?

    But I'll go with that. I've seen Haitian dead being dumped after the earthquake and fires, blamed on Libyan rebels, making it seem like "hey, these guys are nothing for killing compared with an earthquake."

    "the twelve bodies from Tripolis/ al-Furjan."
    The what? Am I just forgetting massacres now, or is that a new one on me?

    Incidentally, the second video is also now pulled for ToS violations.

    ReplyDelete
  24. A last try with another copy, but probably also this one will be pulled soon. And another here. All six victims are quite bright skinned and look more latino than arabic for me.

    I think you saw the video from Tripoli/al-Furjan, but perhaps you didn't see the earlier copy with the location in the title - it's in my latest comment in the Tripoli Massacres masterlist.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Okay, I was confused - had seen the area with twelve bodies laid out with heads on - was that Libya? I didn't save a copy. It was the wrong link, not by Tota2clever, and not what you described (or did I get mixed-up?). Tried to look again, but now it's "private."

    ETA: I got the other video, per your other comment, thanks.

    This here is seven (not six) heads and headless bodies, some hanging, three or so other headless bodies in another spot, all indoors. A comment says Mexico, and while they could be Arabic (plenty light-skinned people in Libya) the faces do look more Mexican, with hints of Indio/Asaiatic. I think this is a mislabeled video. And a sad one. Mexico's drug war - and earthquakes, and other conflicts and disasters - have no shortage of horrors even compared with Libya. But we specialize...

  26. Clearly belonging to Sirte is another video, showing the aftermath of the bombing of the Gaddafi convoy. This video is showing about eight handcuffed survivors at the beginning. As reported, 6 handcuffed and executed bodies were found at the same place later. I guess they are among those shown here.

    Has anybody seen pictures of the executed bodies? It should not be difficult to compare then.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I haven't found any pictures of the men who where executed after the capturing of Gaddafi yet. But it seems that one of the men in the video really survived. The elder man at the right side is probably Huneish Nasr, Gaddafis driver, who was allowed to give an interview to the Guardian a few days later.

  28. A couple of bodies in this building, one butchered,here, filmed 4 november,apparently.

  29. Just came across this video. These men were captured alive by the rebels the day Qaddafi was captured and killed. You can see they were being spit on and hit. Later you will see in the other link one of men dead. I am sure if you compare the photos on the SOS link you will be able to match more faces of the victims.

    The bodies by the wall, shown at least twice in that video, are covered here. A different view, but they're the same 12 Dan Rivers filmed for CNN, perhaps by Mutassim's place, location not found (new construction, looks like, may reflect in the updated imagery).

    Speaking of which, the next video, from CNN, unique view of that scene (0:28), then one more like that photo. Cemetery bodies is for the mass grave next to a cemetery. The bodies on the "central reservation" I haven't seen.

      Somehow the link lets me see the owner of the YouTube account, Rabadw – a rebel supporter. There is another video from October that may have something important.

    3. I could see the video fine, and saved a copy. It's some kind of collage video, showing some of the Sirte captives, plus explosions, Gaddafi cartoons, mostly photos rolling by, some dead and badly injured people, some from years past. I don't know if any of it's important for our purposes, but not that I noticed.

  35. Dan Rivers goes to see the bodies on the central reservation of the dual carriageway - pretty much above the drainage pipe, in this CNN video, "NATO airstrike" hit Gaddafi´s convoy Oct 22 2011 uploaded by bonanza91v on 22 October. (see 1.11 onwards...) "95 bodies in this area.."

  36. On Rabadw'svideo: There are some dang skeletons in the photos I've scanned. These could be war victims from late September perhaps. Six weeks? 0:45 seems a bit old even for that,but I'm no expert. At 0:49 a number - 434looks like, and pretty freshly killed. Many others, a bit monochrome plus decayed, suggesting they were buried and exhumed. But not buried long or deep. That's my gut feeling.

    Incidentally, what network is that? I just noticed how little Arabic coverage (none) I've seen on the Tripoli shed massacre survivors...

  37. Aside from the amateur video-I mean pro news coverage from, say, al Jazeera. But that's off-topic.

  38. Yes, I too was amazed how the Tripoli shed incident seemed only for Western media consumption. Also, one doesn't see a scrum of European/Americans, journos and photogaphers in the background of the shots, almost as if each group was admitted separately,like to a private performance of a play, timed tickets...

    Rabadw does a good job for the propaganda he shows to his audience. He has some odd stuff - interviews over an Antonov Cargo plane just returned from overhaul in UAE, which nobody else picks up, worth looking through. Not active much lately, though. He certainly gets around - Adjabia,(main base, I think) Sirt, Tripoli. His station is called Libya Al-Ahrar, Free Libya, ليبيا الاحرار fronted by Ali Hamed ,علي حامد ,editor K. Sharari, ك الشراري . The microphone shows LibyaTV logo, a counter-propaganda broadcasting channel from Doha, Qatar since 30 March 2011.

    I'll watch the video now. Boiled down:
    Outside Sirte: misleading. Revealed by someone from Sirte? Perhaps. Telling them where to find their own victims? Perhaps. Laundered, altered... No details, a few bodies, shown totally covered. Stupid shit after dominates... weapons in storage, landmines never placed to kill, rockets never fired to kill, some chemicals... chemical weapons, obviously. They skip the useful and go for the evulll. Like rape and massacres, using swords, killing blacks and people on busses...

    Does it need a post? Maybe. As a Sirte massacre in the usual sense? I don't think so.

    "We are finding a variety of munitions, it’s quite staggering," says Max Dyck, programme manager for the United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS) in Libya. "Finding them is not hard. The hard part is trying to coordinate with the locals. When you go in you can’t just plant a flag and say we are going to start clearance. You have to break the ice – you produce and gain trust. It’s a slow process."

    "In Sirte the people are very angry. It is very ‘green’ and they are not scared of saying this," says Michael Morrison, area coordinator in Sirte and Misrata for the international development organisation, the Agency for Technical Cooperation and Development (ACTED). "Sirte really feels like they’ve been left out by the NTC, who are late coming to the most damaged city," he says. "Pre-war Gaddafi there were perceptions that Sirte benefited a lot from handouts."

    At the front, fighters now carry paper badges in plastic slips that list their name, number, and "brigade".

    Newer identification cards are smaller, made of plastic, list blood type and feature a barcode.

    Weapons carry individual numbers – Bukatwa's rifle had "309" painted on the wooden stock. These are recorded and linked to the fighter's ID number when a brigade supply centre distributes arms.

    and a commander said they would approach Sirte in a pincer movement.

    Jalal el-Gallal, a spokesman for Libya's new leaders, said several thousand fighters were involved, backed with tanks and mechanised vehicles.

    NATO said that on Wednesday it had struck a command and control node, a military vehicle storage facility, four radar systems and two surface-to-air missile systems in the Sirte area.

    Around 15 percent of Kadhafi's forces are still operational, the alliance said.
