More on Ilan...

Smooth Stone has another post on Ilan with a NYTimes article. Smooth quoted a young French-Arab man who said that he knew that 'they' had someone 'down there', but denied knowing that 'they' were torturing him.


The article also says that 19 people have already been arrested, including the head honcho, a man named Fofana. An arogant (pardon) bastard who had the audacity to call Ilan's father, girlfriend and others to threaten them after he learned that his name and picture were in the papers after arrests began to take place... thinking he was 'safe' over on the Ivory Coast. He even sat 'smiling and relaxed' in an interview from the police station in Abidjan that was broadcast in France...


Even more distressing and chilling was the end of the article ....quote:

Standing in the doorway in Bagneux near where Mr. Halimi was held, the young French-Arab man smiled when asked about Mr. Fofana. "He was nice, everybody liked him," he said. "If the police bring him back here, the guys in the neighborhood will liberate him."
