Body bags?
How did the bodies end up in body bags? Do Assad's shabiha have the bags with them when they go out massacring people? Or is this part of the non-lethal aid given to Syrian activists by the US State Department? -- Petri Krohn (talk) 02:58, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

I am trying to identify the bag. It is not the white PVC bag typically used in hospitals. The black color indicates it is more likely intended for field use. The closest one I could find is this bag on alibaba.com: The green zippers should help identify the batch these came from. -- Petri Krohn (talk) 03:34, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Durable Nonwoven Dead Body Bag with Double Zippers
 * Good line of inquiry, if difficult to pin down with a normal degree of searching. Everyone knows rebels always find dead bodies and will need bags to put them in. These were supplied by someone, and it might be interesting to know, but not worth any headaches, I should think. FWIW I'd say the bright zipper supports the idea of use in field setting, poor lighting, etc. --Caustic Logic (talk) 04:30, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

Looking for body bags in Syria, this is some of what I found: I think the bags are the type that would be carried around by armed groups to take care of their own dead. Most likely an armed group that has been provided with plenty on non-lethal aid. -- Petri Krohn (talk) 04:54, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
 * The Syrian Red Crescent, when evacuating bodies from Helloq, Aleppo in April 2013 uses blue, white, and even one gray bag, but no black ones.
 * Bodies in Qaboun in July 2012 were place in white bags.
 * These anti-Putin protesters in New York City only had access to white bags.
 * The massacre victims in the Damascus suburb of Jdeidet al-Fadel were placed in black body bags, apparently by activists.
 * Amnesty International in New York has access to similar black bags.
 * The bags are not the Government Spec heavy duty style with carrying straps they have available in Turkey.
