Neither does Kim Sengupta, but he may not be fully aware of the timeline – maybe assuming that Algala spent more than the two days at the Khamis Brigade base.<br /><br />Amr Dau Algala says he was arrested with his brothers and first taken to the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Salim_prison" rel="nofollow">Abu Salim prison</a>. From Munir's story we know this would be the evening of Saturday, the 20th of August. Amr Dau says he was driven out of Abu Salim after two days. This could be the 21st at the earliest, maybe the 22nd. Two nights in the prison van would mean the "massacre" happened in the morning of August 23th or 24th.<br /><br />From other more reliable sources (including <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-12695138" rel="nofollow">BBC</a> from <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/mar/09/bbc-staff-arrest-torture-libya" rel="nofollow">March</a>) we know that the shed compound was used for processing captives before they were moved to other more permanent facilities. These captives would be locked in the prison vans. If there is any truth in Amr Dau's story, the two prison vans must have been full of captives on August 23th. So far no one has explained how and when these captives were massacred. My best guess is that the 20 or so captives that would fit into the prison vans are the 20 or so witnesses who have emerged as "survivors" of the shed massacre.Petri Krohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12630751579069253718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7091580307813686433.post-56296791132378155082012-04-24T08:04:55.541-07:002012-04-24T08:04:55.541-07:00Lindsey Hilsum interviewed during the evening, or...<b>Lindsey Hilsum </b> interviewed during the evening, or early night of 22 August by Jeremy Brown <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsqe1oTA_RA" rel="nofollow">for PBS News Hour in the USA</a><br /><i>"I am in the west of the city in a quiet area, all I can hear is a little bit of gunfire and the sound of NATO planes overhead"</i> .
