More than 1,200 bodies found in Tripoli mass grave
Found on BBC News on Sunday, 25 September 2011
The remains are thought to be those of inmates who were killed by security forces in 1996 in the Abu Salim prison.
The NTC said it had discovered the site - a desert field scattered with bone fragments within the grounds of the Abu Salim prison - by questioning prison guards who had worked there when the prisoners were killed after protesting against their conditions.
A few eyewitnesses have talked about the fact they were killed in their jail cells by grenades and sustained gunfire after a protest.
Judging by the fact that most nations had close ties to Gaddafi via their intelligence services, they probably knew about this and decided not to do anything.
