| Al’Jazeera Has Video Claiming Matt Maupin Murdered |
| 2004-06-28 |
There continues to be conflicting reports concerning the status of specialist Matt Maupin. ABC News reports the parents of Maupin were informed that there may be a tape showing his execution. ABC News said a source described as a senior official said a tape was delivered to Al-Jazeera TV which appears to show a blindfolded Maupin in a dark room being shot.
This guy grew up a few miles from where I live; there’s a huge display of ribbons and best-wishes at the high school he attended; it’s about 1000ft from my front door. Everytime I’ve seen a TV truck in the area, I feared the worst. Sure enough -- there was a camera crew in front of the school when I went by this evening.
I’ve even written to the ICRC a few times asking what they were doing to get access to him. They never answered. |
