Looking forward to the story behind these new images, especially this one and the one with (Ali?) smiling on video. Got a location on the house - just a bit north of the Qaws, not one of the two Al-Sayed houses previously IDd, but on the same side of the street. In reality, is it Mashlab's? Alex Thomson is pinned down across the street from it, in his video for ITN/CNN (see 0:12 - distance buildings, arches, and trees to the south better seen at 1:12). It was definitely burned inside. I think it's the very middle building here. Hmm. --Caustic Logic 17:56, 29 September 2012 (EST)

See the forum thread - they are from a recently aired french documentary. According to them, this is "petit Ali"'s house, and they show it from the inside before, thanks to footage of Columbian journalist Catalina Gomez who was there with Thomson. Ali seems to be big in France. --CE 21:17, 29 September 2012 (EST)
Belated note. I missed this, and somehow at the forum too. I can't get the video to play - something I'm lacking, which I've found I usually cannot get. But I did finally try to look up the show. Does it show any kind of skepticism? I'll go see what you said. --Caustic Logic 18:52, 1 October 2012 (EST)

Graffiti

Note the graffiti. There is more at the security HQ. This kind of graffiti always seems to follow the killers. We saw it in the Benghazi consulate and at the Khamis Brigade shed. Must be "Gaddafi loyalists" who did this :-) Petri Krohn 02:30, 5 October 2012 (EST)
