DATA SUMMARIES
(S/NF/SG/LIMDIS) Following are perceived highlights from
each source. The period covered is 5-6 October 1993.
- (S/NF/SG/LIMDIS) Source (Green Data):
-- There are at least five, possibly seven men being
held prisoner. A Christian man is present. The prisoners are
depressed and under nourished and no-one as of yet has been
killed. They are being held captive in a walled area complex in
downtown Mogadishu. The prisoners are located in the underground
level of a two story building in a dungeon area downstairs in the
back quarters. It is one of the minor buildings with a taller
building nearby. The soldiers are being deprived of healing and
future hope. The building's surroundings include: a rounded
area out back, sand, and guards in the vicinity. Figuratively
speaking, there is not flowing water nearby like a body of water
(such as the sea), but water and a water tower can be found near
the complex.
-- It was perceived that the prisoners are being held
at Building 52, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which is located
near the Water Development Agency, a prison and hospital.
The dead bodies of American soldiers have been moved
in a northern direction from the compound where they were before
and are placed on top of one another.
- (S/NF/SG/LIMDIS) Source (Red Data):
-- The American soldiers were moved around quickly
after they were captured. The American soldiers were brought to
areas that were close to military offices and the Military
Academy. They were also moved in and out of an Army Hospital and
an Army camp. (Please see map for areas).

-- The plans and intentions are to move the American
soldiers away from the Mogadishu area into the northern area of
the country as fast as possible. This is so that U.S. forces
cannot find them. The plan is to transport the prisoners to an
area known as Karin and Dire Dawa.
-- The prisoners will not be kept together. They will
be scattered. The prisoners will be kept in cave like dwellings
and will be moved every several days. They will not be kept in
the same area of confinement. This is so that they will not be
found.
-- The prisoners are scared. They are given water but
very minimum to eat. The prisoners will have a safe return
before Christmas. The prisoners are not perceived as having
major health problems.
-- The bodies of the dead U.S. soldiers are desecrated.
They are not being stored in any one place.
- (S/NF/SG/LIMDIS) Source (Black Data):
-- Five American soldiers are currently being held in
the building so located on the map and sketched in the
accompanying diagrams.
-- The Americans are located on an upper floor of the
building in a series of three rooms. This building (or one close
by) is associated with grinding and there is a strong, sweet
smell reminiscent of fruit. It has a plain, stucco front with
prominent dark colored timbers or wooden beams.
There is the concept that the vicinity of this
building is "a city within a city". There is a nearby building
which has a "museum" perception about it. There are a number of
cultural items i.e. artifacts and this building has complex
designs on the walls.
-- The Americans have been moved around in large,
cargo-type trucks. There is an overwhelming expression of
torture, mistreatment and injuries that are very apparent. It is
perceived that one has recently died and is covered with a heavy,
off-white cloth. There is a large box/chest type object near
this individual. It is perceived as if this individual is not
with the others.
