Khamis Brigade Shed Massacre: Further Discussion on Alleged Witnesses

January 23, 2011

The comments section at the Shed Massacre witness list page has become full and won't take new messages. Apologies for the inconvenience. It would be a lot of work to clean that up, though I might. But even then, there are many comments left to make on this sprawling and sometimes confusing issue.

So, just for a post to gather more comments beneath, I guess we have about 100-150, depending, before it's full too. So don't hold back, but also lets try not to glut it too much.

80 comments:

    1. Sorry, those were in reverse order. The answer to questions of comparing this to that is not tonight at least. But the last (first) part I had asked you for, so I'll check that. And I see it, 3:03 the guy (app. M.M. Zadam, see new mythology post) points to baby blue shirt guy, I hear "something Lamin," he seems embarrassed and ducks the view. Interesting.

      I don't know. I hope to get this transcribed, so I can understand just what he's saying, and then decide.

      Did you see Petri's find of the curly griever from http://i42.tinypic.com/rqvsr8.jpg smiling as "Dr. Salim" pats him on the back for the great show? Awesome...

    2. The curly headed thinning on top academic is handling the younger bearded guy. I forget the name. It is Mohamed Lamin or Lamine
      محمد لمين who is mentioned.(not the singer I suspect) What I do find extraordinary is that the tall very un-arabic looking chap - more Slavic than anything - has a lot to say but is not introducd to any press crews. The mystery will unfold with translation ....

  4. Why didn't I put this together yet?

    Recent new witness, and another one, both the same. Another solidifying entry.
    Facebook list has Mahmoud Mukhtar Zadam. Elsewhere the story of Mahmoud Mukhtar Zadam, who's listed as in the "VVA" video under study, most likely the central guy with the light complexion, baseball cap, and general Indiana redneck look. But Google translate gives that last, and it's got the M names mixed up - in real order, Mukhtar Mahmoud Zadam. I had just added (behinf the scenes) from La Crroix, French language: Moktar Mahmoud Zedan. http://www.la-croix.com/Actualite/S-informer/Monde/En-Libye-les-deux-camps-ont-commis-des-exactions-_EP_-2011-08-30-705009

  36. @Adam - brand new Video from Janis Mackey Frayer from CTV Canada which seems to have been filmed late morning 28 August (accompanying news report is an earlier one from AP). She interviews Abid Raziq Senussi who says he ran away during reloading and finds bloody handprints on the white dumped vehicles to show an escapee was shot. Even more extraordinary, Chris Cobb-Smith shows up and say it was pretty chilling being back here next to his cell. I suspect the footage was shot around the same time as Orla Guerin made her BBC video. No internal shots.

    1. That's a massive find. A number of interesting things. The BBC cats... I just don't know what to make of all that. From ignorance, I'm going with they were held there, and later the rebels did this war crime there too.

      But we have another witness, on video even. Or rather, more info on one. He looks familiar, sure I've seen him milling around, but never IDd as a witness. Vague as hell "account."

      This also goes to whoever (you?) who were linking Mackey-Frayer's travels and that of Berehuliak. His photo captions are the only other source on Mr. Senussi.

      And wasn't it CBC's Ormiston who got the same "ran to the truck" story for the eyes-gouged man on the stairs? Why do the Canadians keep getting handed that part? Off-topic...

    2. This guy was also mentioned on a front loader body photograph, by un-named Getty photographer who must also be Berehulak. [Grames(sic) is probably Ghames]

      @hurriya did you flag this one up? I can't find it tagged.

    2. I cannot save copies of the CBC or CTV videos, even with the cool Safari plug-in. Before that late discovery disappears, I'll have to be sure and get screen grabs and spoken info. CBC's I think I covered well enough even if the (stretched) one still at MSN disappears.

  47. Don't know how I missed this before: The Independent:
    Apparently same as Mounir el Ghoula, by name and loss of last-seen brother Abdullah, and total of four brothers:
    Amr Dau Algala was picking through the ashes with a stick when he came across the charred and broken bones. A little later he found the buckle. "Only my brother was wearing a belt in our group. This looks like my brother's," he whispered, looking down at the twisted piece of metal.

    Around 60 men, prisoners of Muammar Gaddafi's regime, died when guards first opened fire and then tossed grenades into the warehouse where they were being held. Among them was Amr and three of his brothers. They ran for their lives amid the flames, noise and confusion and escaped. A fourth, 25-year-old Abdullah, is missing.

    "The last time I saw Abdullah was there, sitting in that corner," said Mr Algala, pointing at a blackened corner of the metal box, around 25 feet long and 20 feet wide, into which more than a hundred captives had been crammed. "He is young and looked very scared that morning. When the guards opened fire I started running. I looked back, but there was too much smoke, I could not see my brother. Some people got away after us, we are really hoping Abdullah was one of them, but we don't know."

    More details further down, all my info to compare still not on the main page, but I can check my own files...

    The escape part:
    "We climbed over that wall and we ran through the houses. They came after us, firing, and I saw some people fall. But others got away.

    "Maybe my brother was one of them. Maybe he was injured and someone is looking after him. Maybe we shall hear from him soon."

  50. PHR witness "Omar" must be Bashir al-Sedik, though the two different escape methods he gives force two entries and no more re-numbering (down).

    Bashir al-Siddeq (phoenetic) held there for 95 days, he said, "accused of helping the rebels." the massacre happened "Monday night," the 22nd . He has things in his shirt pockets like packs of cigarettes. [CBC] Bachir Mohammed Sedik [LM] Mohammed Bashir Germani, “arrested three months ago for helping demonstrators to flee to Tunisia.” [AG] Manner of escape: "when they went to re-load their guns, he crawled over bodies to a hole in the wall, and in the chaos, escaped." [CBC] “Then, hidden behind a wall, he heard the screams, shots, cries for help, before seeing the fire lit.” [LM] Injuries: “I was not hurt” [AG]


    18 – “Omar” (pseudonym) Az Zawiya, car-dealer, held 95 days
    A car dealer from Zawiya who drives a Benz, away in Dubai on business as the protests started, arrested May 20, cites a massacre on the 22nd instead of 23rd, smokes cigarettes the loyalists stole, "they accused him of giving 225,000 Libya Dinars ($180,000 USD) to the revolutionary forces and of transporting anti-Qaddafi forces to Tunisia." Jailed with his nephew, who was apparently released soon after. Two of his cars were stolen and brought there to taunt him. He cites a 22 August massacre, after guard Mustafa tried to set them all free (turning down a fat bribe).[PHR] The Manner of escape is different from Bashir’s, forcing a separate entry for a separate character: “he hid behind some tires and farm equipment. When there was a pause in the shooting, detainees rushed the door and ran in all directions. Some were shot dead while others, like Omar, managed to escape safely by scaling the wall of the compound.” Injuries: None mentioned by PHR. [PHR]

    Note: "According to Omar, he was the longest-serving detainee at the Agricultural Compound.” [PHR] Falba says he was there longer, four months. [FGM]

    Sources at one post eventually.

    1. Just realized the significance for that damn hole - Omar is the one with "Mustafa" feeding things through the hole, food, secrets, etc., "proving" the perfect escape route (still my opinion but pending verification) was there the whole time.

      Bashir "crawled" out of it, but Omar ignored it and ran out the door.

      Bashir was puzzled why no one else said they escaped by the hole? Re-framed that with his next narrative to heighten the oddity? He's a totally strange cat, on a Farjani level almost... I like Bashir/Omar, that goof ball!

    2. It is high time to restore the withness list, even in the two-day-old backup form you had in store when it got deleted.

      I suppose by Omar you mean PHR's key witness. If he is Bashir, is it possible to show that he is also a key liar?

      Important!
      Wouldn't it be interesting, if all survivor witnesses – at least all the ones who have been able to provide any description of the shed - could be shown to have visited the shed site on August 27th or 28th?

      Delete
    3. Would Omar be Mohammed Bashir or Bashir el-Sedik? Or are Mohammed Bashir / Bachir Mohammed German and Bashir el-Sedik / Siddeq all the same person?

      If Bashir has a beard, who then is the guy who looks like him but has no beard?

      Delete
    4. That's a valid question. They both have Mohammed and Bashir in their names and do look similar enough I get them visually mixed up. I pulled up the images I have and I can't rule it out. Sedik might have a longer face and more protruding jaw and teeth (or M.B. acting, with fake teeth?). Ears (inner folds) and eyes (Sedik's heavy lids) might be different, not sure. Nose is app. consistent, facial hair about the same pattern, head hair also about the same...

      I can't rule it out. It's possible he's the same and wasn't even trying to give a different identity, just got one of those jumbled translations. But until or if I'm more sure, I'll keep them separate.

      Scratch the last - Account details are different. Transferred there same week vs. 95 days. Both say they escaped by the hole, but Sedik/Omar says Aug. 22 and M.B. specifies Tuesday (the 23rd). If the same man, he's given three stories. Otherwise, just the two and a similar-looking guy had his own silly one.

      Both mention or seem to mention the fire happening at that time-Ormiston had that impression the grenades burned them, after talking to him...

      Better yet, it's almost time. The list I'm working out for the report is more comprehensive, updated, streamlined. My long-accounts .doc is a mess, but might be of value. The shorter one will have all names, all sources, alt. spellings, hometowns, length of imprisonment, select highlights and notes. Not sure about pictures-as few as possible in the report...

      I suppose by Omar you mean PHR's key witness. If he is Bashir, is it possible to show that he is also a key liar?
      Indeed. Unless two separate people - from this pool of "only 51" escapees- coincidentally share that many traits, or two conspired to share claim to said traits, then yes. He apparently changed his escape portion to match with "Mohammed" and fabricate some "corroboration." Mohammed is the star witness, BTW - he had injuries, which made them (physicians) seem to matter in verifying him.

      Learning these two are the same also sheds light on Omar's Aug. 22 massacre claim. It could have been a typo. Still could but less likely, given the same guy's on the record with the same wrong date - as Monday. So he didn't mean Tuesday, and he didn't mean the 23rd, he's clarified. So... now they agree on how they escaped, the only two that describe "storming" the doors, but they really do disagree on the day it happened.

      Important!

    7. Um, yeah, I'm not going to be looking at those. First one, possibly the Yarmouk area, not clear. Relevance to the witnesses unclear. Landmines, not deployed against them, found by angry rebels. Why not deployed?! Portable TV station hidden, threatened information war!! Again unused, the operators all fled or massacred. My God, the horrors narrowly averted. It all came just in time to save everyone from land mines sitting in storage any longer.

      Libya: Tripoli update 24-25 August 2011 0 Verified


      GP2 African migrant workers are seen at a farm where they had been hiding from rebel forces in Tripoli, Libya, Sunday, Aug. 28, 2011. Hundreds of migrant workers remain stranded in Libya after six months of war unable to flee the country
      I think the most important find here is that done by Human Rights Watch: they found the fucking Afromerc base, together with hundreds of its Chadian and Sudanese mercenaries! If it really was "commanded by the 32nd Brigade of Khamis Gaddafi" (i.e. near by), then definitely it could provide all the nigger flesh needed to furnish any number of body piles or "Gaddafi massacres." Here I believe we have to take HRW by their word.

      On Monday, rebels who had taken over a military airbase outside the capital prodded two new prisoners in the bed of a truck.

Gaddafi s forces is embraced by a relative outside the warehouse where the massacre took place. NAME TK was one of nearly 100 rebel prisoners locked into a warehouse on a military base on the outskirts of Tripoli last week when soldiers tossed in seven grenades and sprayed them with gunfire. More than 50 people died leaving little more than charred skeletons which rebels discovered days later. It was one of several known mass killings that occured in the final days of the regime s grip on the capital.
