Khoms Containers Suffocation re-enactment.

by Felix


As the annivesary of the alleged suffocations approaches,there has been increase activity in keeping this dubious event alive. I now notice a recent dramatisation of the event on YouTube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QX2Cl2CBS5c, فيلم عذاب شهداء الحاوية , uploaded from the USA by Sawtalthwar, 23 May. Film - Torment of the container martyrs. 3.31 minutes.
Gripping stuff....stay tuned for the next episode, perhaps. The "exhumation". Strangely, I don't see them drinking their own sweat. Too difficult to realise. Do not try this at home.

  1. This is great stuff. It makes it quite certain there will be significant anniversary activity for the much more significant Yarmouk massacre. The plan to make sure A Question Mark Over Yarmouk is done at least two months prior to the anniversary and pushed widely in its first weeks will prove a smart one.

    Short post but it doesn't need much more. That container in the last still looks pretty realistic. Do you think it's one of the originals? I could see them re-enacting the whole (likely) fake story in the real containers for "authenticity."

  2. congrat felix with yr work

    The man said the footage was found on the cellphone of a pro-Gaddafi soldier arrested in the area after the rebels took over control of the town on August 21.
    It showed the inside of a shipping container, at a different site from the one where Ali Ahmed was held. Six men in civilian clothes sat or lay on the floor. They were blindfolded and their hands and feet bound with plastic ties.

    1. Thanks, Hurriya. Sorry, I was away for some days, so some catching up to do. Yes, that's Tweer. I have another post to come. The story gets more and more fanciful. They have had a year to write the script, much of which (strangely) wasn't told last September.

    The Black Hole of Khoms: a bitter anniversary

    By Michel Cousins


    Their version sounds a little softened. Says the commander died the same night (he found out) because he drank so much, feeling bad. Details, the asthmatic victim from Hay Andalus, not sure what else is new.

      Can be said that foreign intelligence has a very big role in mobilizing public opinion, Libyan and shaped, and this is aimed at the exploitation of reality which is necessarily the product of the rule of 42 years of neglect, murder, fear, suspicion and conflict and the need to be able to continue in the intervention and control and to achieve their goals of political and economic development.

      May be the place is real : The 18 bodies were taken and dumped in a hole by the side of the road that had been dug to lay electricity cables in Al-Orban, near Gharian.

    3. Cousins wrote for the Saudi "Arab News" at least from 2004, including this article which please the former Libyan Royal Family:
      http://mohammedelsenussi.org/home/press-in-print/arab-news-662011.html. He's the Editor of Libya Herald now. Auschwitz...really!

      The alleged grave footage does look more like Gharyan area geography. But it seems a ridiculous journey to dump bodies from Khoms.

  6. And the nonsense continues: following the five-part testimony from the Sheikh with the Shades, we now have two linked episodes : عبد الرحمن مفتاح الشريف .. الناجي من الحاوية الحمراء "Abdelrahman Al-Sherif, survivor of the [smaller] red [Gold] container" with clips from the dramatisation above (at around 1.55 first video).

    and

    Amateur footage at the start of part 2 is probably from the scene as shown to journalists in early September 2011.

    1. The above testimony is from the youngest alleged survivor Abdelrahman Muftah Al-Sherif.(aka Abdelrahman Muftah Ali [Ahmed][Sherif]). Not to be confused with testimony from freed prisoner (from what/where?) Abdelrahman Al-Sherif : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBy2K_Q04I4 who looks nothing like him.

      As expected the 6/6 anniversary passed with this facebook post by Al-Khums National Council.

      The pattern of bullet holes in the dramatisation container is different from that in the smaller red [Gold] container.

    1. @Hurriya - Thanks for the facebook page. It's complete nonsense. These bodies were allegedly dug up, miles south of Khoms, and the doctor at the TCH somehow knows who they were and which container they were in (40ft IRISL, 20ft GOLD) and all the survivors' names.
      9 died and 9 survived from the IRISL

      9 died and 1 survived from the GOLD. (half the size, hence almost half the "residents")
      The sole survivor of the smaller container is Abdul Rahman Al-Sharif , عبد الرحمن الشريف as indeed demonstrated. The Sheikh with the shades, Sheikh Mohamed Ahmed Ali, aka Sheikh Mohamed Al-Tarhouni as far as I can see does NOT appear as a survivor of the IRISL container. Yet a victim, محمد الترهونى ضابط شرطة من ترهونة ,translates as Mohamed Al-Tarhouni,police officer of Tarhouna (!) Another survivor, Faraj Omar al Ganin فرج عمر الجنين من الخمس sure enough appears in the list.

  12. a remote area between the towns of Bani Walid and Orban

    Officials from the military council of al-Khoms, about 120 kilometers east of Tripoli, found the bodies in a remote area between the towns of Bani Walid and Orban. The officials said a captured Gaddafi soldier led them to the spot.

    The soldier, whom Tweer declined to name, said that he had received orders to burn the bodies, but he refused the order and buried the bodies in a remote area to the south of al-Khoms.

    On September 8, the captured soldier took Tweer and a team from al-Khoms to a remote site called Wadi Dufan between Orban and Bani Walid, about 60 kilometers south of al-Khoms, where they exhumed the 18 bodies
