BBC: N. Korea gassed prisoners (http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/World/2004/02/02/333503-ap.html) - LONDON (AP) - The British Broadcasting Corp. aired a TV documentary in which a man claiming to be a former North Korean agent described seeing prisoners being experimented on with lethal gas in the communist state. The BBC program said Sunday that the man, identified as Kwon Hyok, was a former North Korean army intelligence officer in 1999 who defected to South Korea. It also said that he was formerly chief guard at a North Korean prison camp, reportedly known as "Prison Camp No. 22." Kwon Hyok described a gas chamber at the camp. He said it was 3.5 meters (11.5 feet) wide, 3 meters (10 feet) long and made of glass so that scientists could observe inmates as they were gassed. "I witnessed a whole family being tested on suffocating gas and dying in the gas chamber," he told the BBC. "The parents, son and a daughter."

Hiermee voldoen wij hopelijk aan de verwachtingen van de mensen thuis, die al enkele maanden met smart zitten te wachten op foto’s van ons. Onze taak is om de mensen en goederen die zich hier over de wegen verplaatsen in Irak, middels konvooien of samen gevoegd in konvooien, te beveiligen tegen een mogelijke agressor. Dit kan variëren van belemmering van de doortocht tot en met gewapende agressie. Onze primaire taak is om deze agressie te neutraliseren teneinde het konvooi in de gelegenheid te stellen om veilig zijn weg te kunnen vervolgen.

BBC: N. Korea gassed prisoners (http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/World/2004/02/02/333503-ap.html) - LONDON (AP) - The British Broadcasting Corp. aired a TV documentary in which a man claiming to be a former North Korean agent described seeing prisoners being experimented on with lethal gas in the communist state. The BBC program said Sunday that the man, identified as Kwon Hyok, was a former North Korean army intelligence officer in 1999 who defected to South Korea. It also said that he was formerly chief guard at a North Korean prison camp, reportedly known as "Prison Camp No. 22." Kwon Hyok described a gas chamber at the camp. He said it was 3.5 meters (11.5 feet) wide, 3 meters (10 feet) long and made of glass so that scientists could observe inmates as they were gassed. "I witnessed a whole family being tested on suffocating gas and dying in the gas chamber," he told the BBC. "The parents, son and a daughter."

Het heeft even geduurd, maar eindelijk komt er eens wat van het beveiligingspeloton Shaibah, ook wel BEVPEL genoemd op de site. Hiermee voldoen wij hopelijk aan de verwachtingen van de mensen thuis, die al enkele maanden met smart zitten te wachten op foto’s van ons. Onze taak is om de mensen en goederen die zich hier over de wegen verplaatsen in Irak, middels konvooien of samen gevoegd in konvooien, te beveiligen tegen een mogelijke agressor. Dit kan variëren van belemmering van de doortocht tot en met gewapende agressie. Onze primaire taak is om deze agressie te neutraliseren teneinde het konvooi in de gelegenheid te stellen om veilig zijn weg te kunnen vervolgen.
