F: Mm-hmm. <strong>The</strong> smoke stack <strong>of</strong><br />
Gécamines.<br />
T: It marks the one place where<br />
there was fighting during the<br />
entire Katanga war. [What I can<br />
tell you about it] would be a long<br />
story [but let me give just this<br />
one incident]: <strong>The</strong>re, way up [on<br />
the smoke stack], was one man who<br />
had been exploding. He had joined<br />
the Katangese army...<br />
F: Mm-hmm.<br />
T: ...although he was a Kabinda.<br />
F: He [was]?<br />
T: Eventually, when this attack <strong>of</strong><br />
rage came on him, he climbed to<br />
top <strong>of</strong> the smoke stack here and<br />
began to fire his Katangese<br />
mortar, aiming in every direction,<br />
right into the communities <strong>of</strong><br />
Kenia and Katuba. He was killing<br />
people. Finally, he was killed,<br />
too.<br />
F: Was he crazy?<br />
T: He was just -- I don't know,<br />
was it rancor or what?<br />
F: I see.<br />
T: <strong>The</strong> he too...<br />
F: Yes.<br />
T: Eventually he was killed, but<br />
not right away. <strong>The</strong>y caught him...<br />
F: Mm-hmm.<br />
T: ...tied his hands together and<br />
dragged him away behind a jeep.<br />
F: Mm-hmm.<br />
T: <strong>The</strong>y went really fast and, as<br />
he was on the ground, he was being<br />
torn up, his flesh was torn to<br />
pieces and he died.<br />
F: Who did this?<br />
T: <strong>The</strong> Katangese. He was a<br />
Katangese soldier himself, he had<br />
joined the Katangese army.<br />
F: I see.<br />
T: But eventually [he just<br />
couldn't take it anymore and]<br />
exploded.<br />
F: [chuckles, unbelieving]<br />
T: Mm-hmm.<br />
F: How did you know this? Did you<br />
see it or did they tell you [about<br />
it]?<br />
T: No, they told me about it.<br />
F: <strong>The</strong>y told you...<br />
T: <strong>The</strong>re was talk about this<br />
everywhere, even on Katanga radio<br />
went on about it.<br />
F: Is that true? And what are<br />
those planes there?<br />
