| 2011-09-26 | |
| [Emirates 24/7] Libyan revolutionary authorities say they have discovered a mass grave containing the remains of 1,270 inmates killed by the regime of Moammar Qadaffy ...a proud Arab institution for 42 years... in a 1996 prison massacre.
The announcement was made Sunday by Dr. Ibrahim Abu Sahima of the government committee overseeing the search for victims of the former regime. He says Sherlocks found the grave two weeks ago after getting information from captured regime officials and witnesses. Officials will ask for international assistance in identifying the remains. | |

| #3 So - tidy disposal at sea was either 1 - not an option, as the Libyan navy didn't have the stomach for it, or 2 - the Libyan navy was already disposing of all the bodies it could handle and the army / security forces had to pick up the slack? |

| #2 No doubt the new regime will be more... circumspect... with its disposals. |

| #1 No doubt there will be a good deal more of this. He wasn't a very nice man, the dapper colonel. He wouldn't last so long if he were. |
