DATA SUMMARIES
SG1A
(S/NF/SG/LIMDIS) Following are.--perceived highlights from
each source. The period covered is 12-13 October 1993.
- (S/NF/SG/LIMDIS) Source (Green Data):
-- The recent developments in Somalia are dangerous.
However, the soldiers will be returned. Destruction ceases for
awhile, but there will be complications before the prisoners are
released. may be released within
six or seven days or within the month. There will be a public
display as significant officials decide release procedures
through negotiations. It is perceived that the prisoners will be
given to guards and taken to a set location where they will leave
the region by plane or helicopter. Peace is temporary. The
health of the prisoners is poor to fair, but they will have
witnessed much and have a lot to tell when they are returned.
Other prisoners are being held captive in Somalia. Mohamed
Farrah Aidid is on the move and not in the same physical location
as these prisoners. Dead bodies of soldiers will be returned to
U.S. soil. The issues will not be resolved in Somalia until
February of next year.
(S/NF/SG/LIMDIS) Source (Red Data):
-- The American soldiers in Somalia are being held
prisoner near the Benadir Secondary School and the hotel/motel
called Taleh. They are in small rooms and some are locked up in
beds. The prisoners are separated from each other. Overall,
their health is as good as can be expected. At this time, there
is not any serious health problems that can be detected.
-- There may be plans and intentions to move the
prisoners or keep them on the move. The reason for this is
unknown at this time.

-- Negotiations will aid in the release of the
prisoners shortly. The names "Stahlwart" and "Fowler"
phonetically surfaced as individuals who are working on the
release of the prisoners. These individuals could be United
Nations delegates.
-- It is difficult to determine at this time when dead
soldiers will return to the U.S. because their bodies are
desecrated.
- (S/NF/SG/LIMDIS) Source (Black Data):
-- The subject(s) of concern are located within the
building sketched on (enclosure 2a and 2c). This structure is
two or three floors high with the upper portion smaller and
appears to have been placed on top of the lower stories at a
later time.
-- This structure occurs two streets or blocks away
from the building depicted on in (enclosure 2b, diagram "a").
The second structure is associated with a very tall and thin
tower-like feature. This building/tower is "one of a kind" or
unique onto its self. There are no other that are similar in the
city.
-- The following attributes/features/characteristics
occur within the vicinity of the two above mentioned structures:
--- Stacks of metal grates or panels reminiscent
of corral fencing.
--- Half circles coming vertically out of the
ground (see enclosure 2c).
--- A very large piece of yellowish cloth with
frayed edges flapping in the wind.
--- An association with Morocco, or Moroccan
culture/interests.
--- Metal rings or hoops stacked in piles.
--- The concept of "dried" water.
--- The concept of "Coptic", which related to a
cross-shaped object lying flat on the ground;
light; stone church; east-west orientation;
sacred; enclave; abandoned; damaged and Christian.

--- Bakery-type operation nearby which produces a
distinctive large, flat, puffy pizza-sized bread
(enclosure 2c).
--- An area of low, gabled structures reminiscent
of an American chicken farm (enclosure.-2c).
--- The other, surrounding buildings are two and
three storied structures with a "stepped or
terraced" appearance which is reminiscent of
southwestern U.S. Native American pueblo villages.
--- A compound where animal parts or bones are
scattered around; the smell associated with this
feature is.nauseating to the point of throwing up.
--- Vehicle tracks in soft, unpacked dirt near the
first building (enclosure 2c).
--- An area of partially ruined walls and jagged
edges (enclosure 2c).
--- A circular feature composed of stone blocks
reminiscent of a well with two linear walls or
features extending outward, giving the appearance
of wings (enclosure 2b, diagram "b").
--The following are attributes/features/characteristics
either directly associated with the first structure or are things
directly perceived by the prisoner(s) themselves:
--- Shadows associated with a bright light coming
into the room through a crack in the door and also
illuminating wooden slats or flooring.
--- A table outside of the door with the following
objects sitting on it: books (dealing with
geography and construction engineering) and a
small, metal box reminiscent of a throat candy box
(containing "dog tags").
--- The guard outside the door has on him an
ornament made from elephant parts (hair, bone,
etc.); this ornament is a symbol associated with a
particular clan, "society", moiety" or religious
faction.

--- There are three bodies hidden in very large,
pipe-like objects with jagged holes; these objects
are associated with a well.
--- The warrant officer..is feeling depressed,
saddened and weak; he has something ,wrong
internally; a spherical growth or area is getting
larger; it is dark, almost black; it is in his
lower body, maybe the intestinal region.
--- He can hear metal being heavily.hammered (not
tapping) through the window; heavy metal clanking
reminiscent of an anvil or beam.
--- He has moved over to a window and can look
down; however, it is straight down a flat wall
with no hand holds; he can also see exposed,
unfinished wooden poles or supports of small
trees or limbs; a curved wall directly below him
and a large, stone wheel reminiscent of a grist or
grinding wheel.
The opposition will return the remaining Americans
(living and deceased) after there has been one more kidnapping or
capture. It was perceived it is the latter with a very close
relative or symbolic clan tie being captured by U.N./U.S. forces.
