last update Jan. 10
Any mysteriously killed human body of late August, not yet clearly covered in another, identified, Tripoli Massacre, can be compiled here.
Al-Intisar, Aug 27
Here are two, in a photo second-to-last in this slideshow with no way to link directly. Annoying, but there are some other fascinating images in there:
http://www.noorimages.com/index.php?id=7003
Two corpses are sprinkled with "chemical powder" by volunteers, on a bridge "in the al-Intisar neighborhood of Tripoli, August 27." The one we can see, now ghostly white, is a black male, dumped on the curb.
I cannot locate this "al-initsar neighborhood." There is a reference, and widespread, to a school there where "mercenaries" were housed in late August. That doesn't help locate it. however, aside from one source which specifies it's in central Tripoli.
Visually, the shadows are somewhat long, suggesting a roughly east-west bridge if PM light, or north-south if AM light. The victims are near the west/south bank of whatever the bridge crosses, with a tree touching the railing where he is. The road isn't wide, or apparently even divided. Building beyond are indistinct, but possible fits with the ones visible north of this consistent location, pretty much in the middle of this sprawling city. (is the black rooftop dome to the northeast visible in the photo?)
Abu Salim, August 22
Several dead men, seen through a fence, as rebel fighters gather in trucks. Props to Felix for re-locating this. As he says:
The footage through the fence is here,طرابلس ابوسليم جريمة قتل المدنين فى الطريق السريع من قبل كتائب القذافى -murder of civilians, Abu Salim, highway, uploaded 23 August by Ahmdov2010
Petri ha(d) a locale, but it was wrong (self-corrected). He's got another one (see comments), and I'll finally check it out later.
I will say I've seen this scene presented (in a different video view) as a loyalist victory over some rats at a check-point, but that was also said to be later, and doesn't explain the refugee items (clothing and feminine baggage, etc.). It's mysterious and not part of another massacre, so it belongs. See comments for the details on this...
Unknown, August 26
Petri addition, see comments: Again, a photo in a slideshow, photos by Daniel Etter, again as above, second to last image.One body with bloodied feet visible beneath several blankets. It's in the middle of a street, nosurroundings clues past the curb, so he won't be placed just from this. Broken auto glass, a metal suitcase/military foot locker sits nearby, latched shut. The caption says:
A dead body lies in the streets of Tripoli, Libya, Aug. 26, 2011. Bystanders claimed that he was a black African mercenary.Definitely fits.
Four Exhumed in Yarmouk
NYT, Sept. 8:
Rebel fighters exhumed a body from a grave in the Yarmouk neighborhood of Tripoli containing four dead men alleged to have been killed by retreating Qaddafi forces as Tripoli fell to the rebels.Credit: Moises Saman for The New York Times Photo2: The fighters chanted "Allah is great" after exhuming the bodies." The third, scanning around for any more remains. The Yarmouk neighborhood might mean around the Yarmouk base, where the infamous and massive shed massacre is said to have gone down. This photo caption suggests as much.
Two Mass Graves
Quite possibly related to the above, on Sept. 11 two mass graves, containing up to 20 people total, were "discovered," as the BBC reported, "just off the 11th June highway, in the Souk al-Jumua area to the east of the capital."
Local people said there were around 15 bodies buried at one grave site.Two Burnt Bodies
They were said to be mostly the remains of African mercenaries who had been fighting for Col Gaddafi.
A few hundred metres away, at a separate site, another four bodies had already been dug up.
The BBBC report cited above also noted:
Separately, the charred remains of two bodies were uncovered on airport road in Tripoli.35 at a hospital
Reuters, Aug 28
But in the aftermath of victory, many corpses have been found, some of slain Gaddafi soldiers, others the victims of killings in cold blood.Yurmuk again suggests near the Yarmouk base. These 35 bodies, or any buried nearby and later exhumed, could be among the dead we know of from the shed massacre, the eight victims surrounding the shed, and the 22 black guys dumped behind a mosque nearby (same link for the moment). But they could well be others, raising the death toll of that mysterious episode - or cluster of episodes - to more than 200.
A Libyan official said 75 bodies had been found at the Abu Salim hospital, which was caught up in heavy fighting, and another 35 corpses were found at the Yurmuk hospital.
The possibility that rebel fighters executed captured Gaddafi soldiers would pose an image problem for the NTC.
22 Black Men
REUTERS AUG 27
In the Tajoura district of the capital, local people prepared a mass grave for the bodies of 22 African men who appeared to have been recruited to fight for Gaddafi. One of the dead had his hands tied behind his back.22 black men, found August 27... is Tajoura close enough to Yarmouk this could be the mosque dump? I had to double check how far east Tajoura was from this southwestern district. It's a good ten miles in between, and the mosque victims were filmed still laying on the road, apparently just discovered, the afternoon of August 28 when these were having graves dug at least a day earlier. So in two ways it's unlikely these are the same, and we have two separate batches of 22 black men - among many other batches of varying numbers - winding up killed in Tripoli within a few day's span.
"The rebels asked them to surrender but they refused," said resident Haitham Mohammed Khat'ei.
"Residents of the neighbourhood decided to bury them in accordance with Islamic law," he told Reuters.
Reports of cold-blooded killings by both sides have surfaced in the last few days, darkening the atmosphere in a city where many had greeted Gaddafi's fall with joy.
Five Early Killings, Aug. 20
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUissixuLyU
A bit of pigment in these five bodies laid on the sidewalk, but only one seems fully black-skinned. One hasa horrible burn on his side I can't see how to explain from fighting asopposedto torture. One has pants half-down and a hole in his cheek, perhaps an exit wound.
Others
I know there are some, but don't have them ready to list yet. Taking submissions and/or solutions.
I found the location of the four Abu Salim victims. They are on Airport Highway just north of the pedestrian overpass. See my long comment here.
ReplyDeleteThe timestamp for the video is 2011-08-22 15:17:25 UTC. The white pickup can still be seen on the spot on the August 29 satellite images.
Intisar = Victory, also النصر. Perhaps a street? Handy map of Tripoli Districts here, courtest of 17Feb Youth Movement which makes no mention of either of these names.
ReplyDeleteI suspected this earlier when looking at one other victim, but the large YouTube embedded video image above has me convinced; the victims are women. The tell-a-tale sign is the shape of the baggage, not to mention the color of the underwear. Note also the stone placed between the legs of the victim clad in white; a tombstone for a lost opportunity?
ReplyDeleteThe dress is more male, the green color even military, but this may be a clue to their identity.
As you noted, YouTube user Ahmdov2010 also uploaded another video Guards captured one of Gaddafi.
The video has a timestamp of UTC 2011-08-22 15:48:36, half-an-hour later than the bodies video. It shows a "King Cab" style pickup / technical with a Tripoli rebel logo on the door and a dark skinned female captive on the back seat. The rebel commander is telling the two film crews filming the captives to hide their identities.
Cover their faces, you have to cover their faces. They tried to [get] outside misery. Ok, please make sure you cover their faces. Oh my friend, [you should carry] be responsible for ...
YouTube magic suggest as the next video to watch this interview of a woman claimed to be Gaddafi's female bodyguard. The earrings, hairstyle and profile confirm that it is most likely the same person. I have not yet located the capture video on the map, but I suspect it was filmed somewhere near the murder site.
Putting all this together, it seems that the three or four traveling in the pickup were Gaddafi's female bodyguard. One was captured, the others were killed on the spot.
***
The time this happened was August 22, 2011. The rebels were far from taking control of Tripoli, let alone the Abu Salim district. They certainly did not set up a roadblock on this part of the Airport Highway. As I understand it, civilian traffic was passing almost normally throughout Tripoli. Someone commented that drivers were stopping at traffic lights.
On the other hand rebel vehicles were quite free to move around Tripoli, all Libyan Army roadblocks were strafed by NATO attack helicopters.
Under these circumstances what are the changes of a rebel technical or convoy coming across a civilian vehicle with this much booty?
I suspect this was a NATO assassination operation from the start. The pickup was followed by satellite from the moment it left the Gaddafi compound. A NATO-led rebel death squad was sent to intercept the vehicle, guided in real time by NATO superiors over the radio. The target of assassination or capture may not have been these poor ladies, but Gaddafi himself.
Now, why kill three of the captives? Evidently they were not willing to spill the beans and disclose Gaddafi's location. The thinking may have been to kill the others to make the one survivor more cooperative.
The fourth victim on the other side of fence? Possibly just an innocent outsider who came to interrupt the proceedings.
petri there are vids of 20 aug with many deads in abu saleem. Don't know caustic has saved them
DeleteWeird claims about Gaddafi's female bodyguards from August. All of this cannot be true at the same time:
ReplyDeleteGaddafi's female body guards underwent Genital Cutting!
Gaddafi passed around female guards like "used objects"
Here is something more about Gaddafi’s women bodyguards. No sources are given except for one Chinese or Japanese image. Maybe you should start a separate post on this issue.
ReplyDeleteThe Fate of Gaddafi’s Women Body Guards After His Death
I went looking for photos of female bodies in Tripoli. Came across some other stuff.
ReplyDeletePhotographer Daniel Etter posts a photo of a black man.
Quote: A dead body lies in the streets of Tripoli, Libya, Aug. 26, 2011. Bystanders claimed that he was a black African mercenary.
I have understood "African mercenary" to mean any nigger ripe for lynching, so quite likely this man did not die in battle.
A usually do not pay much attention to what Human Rights Watch writes or says, but maybe it is time to read this again:
Libya: Gaddafi Forces Suspected Of Executing Detainees, Evidence of War Crimes Before Tripoli Fell, AUGUST 27, 2011
The source of the female bodyguards raped and killed story is Chinese. Here is one version. Here is a translation into English.
ReplyDeleteOne of the women the Chinese images claim to have been murdered was interviewed by Western TV in a Tripoli hospital. If I remember correctly, she was the source of the "Gaddafi raped us" allegations. If this in indeed the same person, this would be an interesting story to follow.
Women victims? Cross-dressing? Makes sense. But the peoples' builds all look fairly masculine to me. Perhaps the victims had women in the car. Roundabout victim #9 has a wedding ring and baby blanket nearby. No wife or baby. These were not killed, but taken somewhere else to live without daddy, I presume. Could be the same for these guys.
ReplyDeleteHere's another view I thought I saw-had the link handy after all. Posted in September as a loyalist victory. I've called it that. Ready to be wrong, and the date gets me halfway there.
On female dead, yes, the bodyguards deserve a post. The black man belongs above - broken glass, bedding... all but impossible to place from that image. Busy days,but I will get to these soon-ish.
@Petri - I found the other video probably from the same scene at the airport road. I think it's the one Adam remembered.
ReplyDeleteIf it is the same place the bodys can be seen much better in this one. Some of them are indeed bearded.
Nevertheless the fate of the female bodyguards is worth more research.
Yeah, I'd say you justcopied my link, but I forgot to put the link. Huh. That clicking camera zoom effect is unusual, but I've seen it in at least one other video shot by a loyalist, of some burnt-out room where they killed rebels (sorry,no link). That might be a clue in itself, or a coincidence.
ReplyDeleteBut even if it was a loyalist victory, with feminine-type items added for some reason, it's a bit wrong to re-post in September and say the fight isn't over, when the proof is a month old, from just about as it more or less ended.
And - I still haven't examined it yet - the presence of dead on both sides of the fence is interesting. Bystander is possible, as is someone jumping the fence but then being shot, or even tossed over, for some reason.
I was totally wrong on almost every point. I made a determination on the direction of the road based on the timestamp and the direction of shadows. The location does not match the second video.
ReplyDeleteI now say the spot is on the ring road, just east of the intersection with Airport Highway. This photo shows the location.
Is the shadows on the video do not match the timestamp, this would have to be filmed a day earlier, on August 21.
Ah, it happens. I still haven't taken my own close look, but I imagine now I will be confirming. I did start to look, found it pretty generic, but perhaps identifiable. Having a set spot to check helps a loooot. I have a couple of additions coming.
ReplyDeleteThe Ahmdov2010 video from Aug 23, 2011 claims the victims were civilians murder on the highway by al-Gaddafi in Tripoli's Abu Slim. I would question this characterization. The strongest proof for civilian status is the lack of arms in the video. Also, some of the victims are in are in civilian cloths. One of the men further down the road is wearing camouflage pants. Some are wearing white Islamist style clothing. The first of the two pickups, the one not seen on the Ahmdov2010 video, seems to have some kind of rebel logo on the door.
ReplyDeleteIt is unclear how the men died. The first pickup was stopped by shoots puncturing the tires, no other damage is evident. Given the August 22 context, there is nothing that suggest an execution. It is quite possible these men died in battle. Whatever the cause, it is clear that radical Islamist in chamo in a convoy of rebel-issued pickups need to be stopped and arrested for questioning.
***
The reason I first thought the victims were women is the handbag-style bag beside the man in white. The round hatbox-style suitcase besides the man in green is even worse. If a man in the West carried this baggage it would be an open invitation to a buttfuck.
The other false clue is the green plastic bag containing some female hygiene product made of cotton or pulp. The bag seems a bit to large for sanitary napkins but could contain stuffed lint cotton, usually used for makeup removal. I do not know Libyan trademarks, but the bag has a female face on its cover.
The female association is made explicit in the second video filmed earlier; someone has placed the plastic bag on the chest of the man in white, indicating he was always pussy.
There is no chance there were women in the convoy. Where do these feminine items come from? Maybe we are just totally ignorant of the sexuality and sexual language of North-African Muslims. For all we know al-Qaeda could be one big gay PnP party.
I have always wondered from where the rebels got all the fancy new white pickups they drive around in. Someone said there was large large surplus of unwanted and unsold Chinese pickups at the Misrata harbor. At the same time most ordinary Libyans still drive age-old Peugeot 404's, as seen in these two photographs.
ReplyDeleteDid the rebels receive foreign funding in the form of these pickups?
Much of the rebel manpower is grouped into 40-plus privately organised, privately funded militias..."
DeleteEach militia "is usually drawn from one town, commanded by a respected local military veteran or, in some cases, by the businessman who financed it.
"They drive privately owned pickups or jeeps with mounted anti-tank or anti-aircraft guns, captured from government arsenals or supplied by foreign benefactors."

The BBC site "just off the 11th June highway, in the Souk al-Jum'a area" is on the second ring road, under the second underpass east from the 11th June highway:
ReplyDeletehttp://g.co/maps/we8nc
Note the number 17 painted on the driveway just in front of the graves – seen on the August 29 satellite image now used on Google Maps. Could these be the same Misrata graffiti artists who decorated Tawergha with slogans for “the brigade for purging slaves, black skin?”
The BBC grave site is seen on this video, also available on YouTube here. At 0:14 there is a view through the underpass with the tower of this Mosque seen in the background.
Photo 2 / 22 by REUTERS/Youssef Boudlal is said to depict "A man accused of being a loyalist mercenary of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi kneels on the ground after being arrested at one of the several check points in Tripoli August 28, 2011."
ReplyDeleteOther images from the same set can be found here, here, here, and here,
More pictures of the set are available on this Chinese web page, along with other pictures of the Black genocide in Libya
The location is under a similar overpass as the BBC grave site, most likely on the second ring road. It is thus possible that this abducted guest worker is one of the bodies in the grave.
***
A short dictionary for readers of Western media:
African mercenary:
– nigger, i.e. any African guest worker or Black Libyan
...accused of being a loyalist mercenary of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi:
– ripe for lynching
...believed to have fought for Col Gaddafi.
– dead already
The link to the Chinese page is not working. Here is the corrected link:
ReplyDeletehttp://bbs.qianlong.com/thread-6062082-1-1.html
After some more study I now believe the Reuters photo-set shows exactly the same overpass, except on the other side of the road.
ReplyDeleteNote the European "volunteer" or NATO guy leading the show.
interesting set of Chinese photos, Petri. A couple more European/N American faces there - guy with ginger hair/beard and shades on his head and another with rimless specs and blue shirt riding shotgun in an open car.
ReplyDeleteI have somewhere seen a video of that overbridge with women in black walking L-R along the carriageway, with Eastern European type flats with Gaddafi mural on the end walls in the background. Underneath does look very much like that dried river bed where the bodies were found....
Re The fight is not over... video:
Is that the same fence through which the bodies were filmed adjacent to the strange white rounded structure into which the fence goes? (loyalist kneels photo) Probably not. The video shows the sunlight coming from about 8 o clock and the road curves clockwise as it rises over the next (motorway?)road, which indicates that it might well be the Abu Salim neighbourhood or somewhere in SW Tripoli(though of course we don't know the time of day). The bodies either side of rather a high fence is interesting, as is their relative positioning.
Re the "Al Initsar neighbourhood"
ReplyDeleteI think we are talking about the Al Entisar neighbourhood (the clue I got from the alleged humanitarian ship which ferried doctors and bottled water and medical supplies between Malta and Libya , funded by a Maltese - Qatari charity called I-GO Foundation, called the AL ENTISAR.
This tweet and Video puts this district of Tripoli around the Oil Hospital about which I have written and where there was fierce fighting, and where a Scottish nurse continued to work from during August 2011.(videos of the road and overbridge available outside the hospital which the rebels took over)
The address of the Oil Clinic (now 11 June Hospital) is Airport Highway - طريق المطار - marked on Google maps.
ReplyDelete@Felix - Evidently you missed the location I posted as a link to a Panoramio image. Here is a direct link to Google Maps.
ReplyDeletehttp://g.co/maps/5kwj2
The location is on the Second Ring Road just east of the Abu Slim Road overpass. The camera in the second video faces the Airport Road cloverleaf intersection. Another confirmation is the billboard seen on the opposite side of the road.
The Panoramio photo gives the coordinates for the exact spot as 32° 51' 19.86" N 13° 10' 18.66" E. I thought you could easily navigate from Panoramio photos to Google Maps, but it does not work that way; only a downloadable Google Earth bookmark is available.
I've looked closer at the videos. The victims could be rebels, but their clothing to me suggests loyalists from the home team. The circumstances could be murky.
ReplyDeleteAs for locale, I find Petri's guess pretty consistent for everything I can see except maybe one view. The fight is not over video, 0:41, white buildings across the road, with trees behind. Even a ways back I don't see clearly what matches them. Some scattered farm buildings across that clearing, but they don't seem to shaped and situated quite right.
But location is less important than other things we can't tell about for sure.
Combining the information from the two BBC reports:
ReplyDeleteA few hundred metres away, at a separate site, another four bodies had already been dug up.
This must refer to the site shown on this video. Four bodies were dug up, three of them civilians. As I stated in my previous comment the site is on the Second Ring Road, 400 meters east of the 11th June highway.
The graves are located just off the 11th June highway, in the Souk al-Jumua area to the east of the capital.
Local people said there were around 15 bodies buried at one grave site.
I now understand these 15 bodies to be located at the intersection of the Second Ring Road and the 11th June highway. This spot would be "a few hundred metres away" from the other grave site. The intersection is a large semi-cloverleaf with plenty of sandy ground for burials. In the August 29th satellite images we can see a roadblock right here:
http://g.co/maps/4wn2x
Comparing the August 20th and the August 29th images I cannot see any disturbed ground. One thing sticks out however: What is the dark liquid running down the retainer wall just south of the roadblock?

At Magnum photos, we see another photo of the alleged mass grave in the Yarmouk area A Libyan Rebel searching for bodies, inconsequential, among the cacti. Same date 8 September 2011. I am not sure why Saman was taken to a burning plastics factory a few days earlier.
ReplyDeleteNotice also this undated photo of photographs, by Alex Majoli ,labelled LIBYA. Tripoli. 2011. At a site near the khamis brigades, where 152 anti-Qaddafi's were detained and later executed and burned. Majoli also photographed the cleared inside of the shed, titled LIBYA. 2011. This container once held 150 rebel fighters who were executed after Qaddafi's order that all prisoners were to be killed. Some of them were burnt alive.
In the Gargur district, located on the south side of a dry riverbed from Bab al-Aziziya, at least 25 people were killed
ReplyDeleteindicating that those who were shot were sitting or kneeling against the wall when they were killed
Yet in other instances, neighbors and witnesses have described what appears to have been a horrific spate of killings between Aug. 20 and 21, when the balance of power tipped to the rebel forces attacking Bab al-Aziziya from the Gadhafi forces defending it, who began retreating southward out of the capital towards the international airport.
In the Gargur district, located on the south side of a dry riverbed from Bab al-Aziziya, at least 25 people were killed in this time period, said residents of the neighborhood.
They say a unit of Gadhafi fighters commanded by a local man from Gargur left the leader's stronghold and fell back to this neighborhood on the night of Aug. 20.
He said he saw at least six corpses strewn near the bridge that fords the dry riverbed separating his home from Bab al-Aziziya.
He said he saw 10 more bodies around 200 meters farther away from his home in an abandoned vegetable shop.
Mr. Gout said the bodies discovered at the shop were those of men whose hands had been tied with their own belts. None were carrying identity cards, both he and a municipal worker who helped remove the bodies said.
A report Human Rights Watch researchers released on Saturday says the total number of corpses found in this area was 18. The group calculated the number by counting bodies and speaking with medical workers and local residents.

Osama Al-Swayi, the man who survived the school executions and escaped from the internal security building
ReplyDeleteRoughly a kilometer away from these apparent executions, residents discovered another charnel house where another 19 people died in a municipal building once used by the equivalent of Col. Gadhafi's Interior Ministry and that now appears to be a utility substation.
Off of the main driveway lined with shrubs and pink impatiens flowers, the building's side patio was slick with congealed pools of blood and choked with swarming flies.
Behind a side door stairwell, at least 17 detainees had been executed, overnight between Aug. 20 and 21, said two Gargur residents who saw the bodies and helped remove them. They found two other bodies outside the building as well, they said.
Human Rights Watch confirmed these numbers through interviews with medical staff who had helped remove the bodies, local residents and one survivor of the massacre.
Osama Al-Swayi told Human Rights Watch that he had been detained by soldiers from the Khamis Brigade two days before the shooting and placed in the Gargur building. Twenty-five people were detained there, he said.
On Aug. 20, detainees heard rebels advancing and shouting "Allahu Akbar!" or "God is great" he told Human Rights Watch.
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424053111904199404576536442189164986.html
Another charnel house I'm not sure I ran across before, again with two bodies outside, again in Gargour. I'm so confused right now by all this. That other witness who says they were used as toilets, al Swayi's massacre, this utility building, all mixed together. It might be two massacres, maybe only one, possibly three.
Deletethe school executions are linked to mitiga hospital and the el goula vid.

didn't petri link it to captured ukraïns? and does okok pop up here?
One incident took place at the site of a Brazilian construction company, which had been contracted by the regime to build the new Ring Road around Tripoli. The men had been detained in a hangar, a cinderblock building with a metal roof.
About 70 men were detained at this makeshift prison in Guser Bin Gashir around 12 miles south of Tripoli.

ReplyDeleteIn other news around the capital, rebel fighters appear to have finished a mop-up operation around the international airport where one of the last pockets of Gadhafi loyalists was attempting to fight its way out of town.
A rebel military spokesman said a convoy of cars suspected of belonging to the personal security detail of Khamis Gadhafi, one of the colonel's sons and commander of an elite security brigade bearing his name, attempted to overrun a rebel checkpoint on Saturday near the town of Tarhouna, southeast of Tripoli.

Hurriya - I read in this Australian source Suffering amid Libya's growing human disaster
Delete2 September 2011 that
About 300 prisoners, some crowded into cells housing 26 men at once, are being held in Maftuh Jail in Fernaj, a district of Tripoli,only 500m from Tripoli General Hospital . According to the police officer who took over the prison from rebel soldiers on Tuesday, the men were swept up in the rebels' August 20 push to take Tripoli. Most are accused of being mercenaries fighting for Muammar Gaddafi. Most deny the allegations.
One wonders what went on in this prison between 20 August and 2 September , when all eyes were on Abu Salim?
As reported on 22 December 2011, following another visit by HRW, General Prosecutor Abdelaziz al-Hasadi said that his office has taken control of five prisons in the west: Jdeida and Maftuah in Tripoli, one in Zawiya, one in Zintan, and one in Misrata. The government is also running Kweifa prison in Benghazi, Ali Ashour said.
This Maftooh, Maftuah or Maftuh Prison was also visited by HRW who reported :
At another facility, the Maftuah prison in the Fernaj neighborhood, Human Rights Watch saw about 300 detainees on September 1, including some who had been wounded in fighting. About 50 of the detainees were Libyan and the rest were sub-Saharan Africans. Most of the Africans whom Human Rights Watch interviewed in groups in their crowded cells said that armed men had picked them up for no reason after NTC forces took control of Tripoli.
This prison السجن المفتوح is located SE of the city centre, near the Fatah University. The translation is Open Prison
@felix , thx for information, but it hurts to hear that the afhanistan, iraq fighters with their gruesome skills have that much influence in many cities in the west now. In Zouya so many black people are killed too.
DeleteZintan has its own racism : Now, a sign in the town bears a handwritten scrawl that says, "Mushashya: Gadhafi dogs." Local residents are hoping the pro-Gadhafi families who were driven out don't come back.

@Hurriya - at the end of this CNN clip of Alex Thomson's visit to "save the black Africans", there is an interview with Diana Eltahawy of Amnesty International. A shame she didn't speak out about the alleged mercenaries months earlier.
DeleteIs there a connection with Egyptian born Mona Eltahawy, US citizen journalist who has lived in the UK Saudi Arabia and Israel and who sets out her anti-Gaddafi stall in this article from February 2011?
This is what Diana Eltahawy told the Australian AM Programme on 3 June 2011: It was really telling particularly that every single family that we've met had suffered multiple violations; every single family had relatives killed or injured or relatives who have simply disappeared. Is this credible?? That would be an astronomcal death total.
I can find no biographical details for Diana Eltahawy.
On 29 August, the Christian Science Monitor reported here thus: The human rights group found around 300 people, mostly sub-Saharan Africans, in detention in Zawiyah, 20 miles west of Tripoli. “One of them was a Ukrainian man who was accused of being a sniper even though he was missing two fingers,” says Ms. Tahawy.

DeleteShameless propaganda stunt by US State Department run, Soros-funded front Amenesty International.
DeleteAmnesty cites themselves as the source for the tallies, admitting that they have no accurate information regarding Libya or whether or not the tally includes the thousands upon thousands killed in NATO's onslaught or during the genocidal orgy carried out by NATO-armed and backed Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) terrorists.
It should be noted that NATO's Libyan legion of terror is still to this day carrying out systematic atrocities (also covered here) in both Libya, and across the Arab World.
One assumes that Amnesty International's tally for Syria comes either from the UN's already discredited tally, or Amnesty International's own tally taken from London-based foreign-funded NGO's working out of the British Foreign Ministry's office who are basing their tallies on hearsay and overt fabrications.
http://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/2012/04/amnesty-international-propaganda.html
The UN number was likewise based on hearsay, taken from opposition members in Geneva and compiled by Fortune 500 think-tank director, Karen Koning AbuZayd.
AbuZayd sits on the Washington D.C. based Middle East Policy Council, along side current and former associates of Exxon, the US military, the CIA, the Saudi Binladin Group, the US-Qatari Business Council and both former and current members of the US government. Clearly, by representing the very interests who have been trying to reorder the Arab World for their own convenience for decades, AbuZayd's involvement compromises the entire UN report as well as the credibility of the UN itself.

DeleteMost pieces of notable text are duplicated all over the internet. To find something you need a sample of the text, maybe just the title, and do a Google search on it.
It turns out, the WSJ paywall lets you in, if you are coming from a Google search result. There is no way of generating a get-in-free url, the gate seems to be opened by the correct Referring URL in the HTTP request.
Try out a search for Details Mount on Atrocities in Tripoli's Fall. The WSJ link comes on to of the search – an lets you read the whole article. Following the same link from here stops you at the pay wall.
One of the images happens to be from the road block / massacre site at the Second Ring Road.
(There is also another version of the article on-line with no pictures and a different capitalization in the title.)
...continued
DeleteThe WSJ article is evidently discussing the 18 bodies found by the Dry Riverbed.
Quote:
In the Gargur district, located on the south side of a dry riverbed from Bab al-Aziziya, at least 25 people were killed in this time period, said residents of the neighborhood. They say a unit of Gadhafi fighters commanded by a local man from Gargur left the leader's stronghold and fell back to this neighborhood on the night of Aug. 20.
Mabrouk al-Gout, who lives on the street where the gunmen were retreating, said the gunfire was deafening that night, as was the screaming of men dying and pleading for their lives. "They were shooting at anything," Mr. Gout said, pointing at multiple pools of dried blood that ring his home on two sides.
Just thinking, is the location somehow related to the makeshift prison across the street from Muammar Gaddafi’s compound described in the al Jazeera article by Evan Hill from August 25th?
Survivor tells of mass killing
From inside a makeshift prison across the street from Muammar Gaddafi’s compound, Osama Mansour el-Hadi listened to the beginning of the end.

Some 18 were taken a couple of hundred yards down a dried river bed opposite the Brigade's grey-walled Headquarters on the southern outskirts of Tripoli.
There, on Saturday night, The Daily Telegraph found their decomposing corpses. Several still had their hands tied behind their backs.
Blackened by the summer heat, and maggot-infested, a team of silent volunteers rolled them into yellow plastic body-bags with as much dignity as they could muster. Alerted by Tripoli's grapevine, relatives showed up, somehow able to recognise the missing.

Someone posted a link recently and I can't find it now, where family of missing loyalists frequently have to call them anti-Gaddafi people and say loyalists killed them before even trying to ask for help. How big a factor is this in the huge number of people killed and disappeared "by retreating loyalists?"

Nevertheless, the regime of Muammar Gaddafi "has used mercenaries in the Battle of Tripoli," said Bouckaert.
They have, according to him, documentary evidence and testimony to conclude that hundreds of Africans, especially Chad, have worked for 32 Brigade who led Jamis Gaddafi , son of the president. And this, he adds, is just one of the sites where they have been recruited.
"We have seen ID cards entitling them to have a Kalashnikov and sixty bullets." The residents of the 32 brigade headquarters and say that in February, before the outbreak of the civil war, were in Tripoli.
This "premeditation" is important "to hunt down Gadhafi before the International Criminal Court (ICC)."

In addition, Khadafi's Bab al-Aziziya compound was ransacked by rebels earlier this week.
A television crew reported that they saw rebels stepping over the bodies of pro-Khadafi soldiers as they moved from one building to another trying to clear the area.

A few days ago, a dozen executed prisoners wre found bloated/decomposing at a ditch near Souk Al Thulata (#Tripoli) covered by garbage (cnt)
The bodies were only found when local residents complained about the smell. They seem to date back to 20th August or so.

Wow, shit. This will need a post soon. 1,000 would be the biggest single mass grave yet by a long-shot. Plenty of time to decay was allowed, suggesting (falsely I presume) they didn't know about it 'til now. Airport Road, probably a ways south, not far from the Yarmouk base. Fled like rats, did they? To this grave I'd guess.
DeleteMight out "holocaust camp"investigation become more relevant yet soon? Consider the video host: "“this place has witnessed the death of thousands. I’m not exaggerating when I say thousands. Every day, there were about 20-25 bodies.” That's way off from what anyone else noted. Did he know something after all?

ReplyDeleteBy September, at least 13 mass graves had been found in Libya. ICRC spokesperson Steven Anderson said "more mass graves are being found every week". Unidentified bodies were exhumed for burial in unmarked graves. There were 12 different such sites in and around Tripoli according to the Geneva-based Red Cross.

In mid-March [2012], a mass grave containing 40 bodies was found at Wadi Rabie near Tripoli
http://www.libyaherald.com/appfolder2/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/mass-garve-benghazi.jpg
. The bodies, believed to be those of anti-Qaddafi fighters executed in May 2011, were badly disfigured because chemicals were said to have been poured onto them to speed up decomposition. The ages of the dead were put at the time between 23 and 40.

Thanks, Hurriya. This is all new to me, and probably worth a post. You gave me a good enough kernel right here.
DeleteBodies with chemicals to appear older seemed to be from May... before or after adjusting for the use of said chemicals? I wonder if they were killed more like Aug/Sept. Gaddafi's people might've killed a few in Tripoli here and there prior to that, but man did they ever go on a killing rampage when the rebels got there.

New mass grave discovered near Zlitan
Zlitan, 2 June 2012:
A mass grave was discovered in the Wadi Kaam area of Zlitan earlier today by a group of Tripoli students picnicking nearby.
http://www.libyaherald.com/appfolder2/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/ZlitanMassGrave.jpg
It is understood the students discovered the grave by chance, whereupon the Supreme Security Committee (SSC) in Zlitan was informed. The area has been visited by the SSC and cordoned off, pending a visit to the site tomorrow by members of the prosecutors office, a coroner and a team who will exhume the bodies.

Night executions
ReplyDeleteIt is thought that hundreds of people were buried in mass graves following the Libyan uprising
http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/59165000/jpg/_59165932_massgrave.jpg
writer bbc piece , name not displayed :
During part of last year's uprising, much of the international media was "billeted" by the Gaddafi government at the infamous Rixos hotel in Tripoli.
At night we would often hear the sound of gunfire from the woods behind the hotel.
This week my suspicions were confirmed when I was shown a video of dozens of dead bodies, lying in a ditch behind the Rixos.
They were, apparently, activists picked up from their homes in Tripoli and brought here to be executed.

Whispering Bell Libya has received reports that another mass grave has been found by Misurate Militia in the Allowady area of Tripoli.
40 bodies have reportedly been found.
This report follows a similar report 2 weeks ago of another mass grave to the South of Tripoli, the bodies believed to be victims of the revolution.
