announced over the UN controlled radio that any civilians found in illegal
possession of arms will be summarily executed. 10
Michel Tombelaine was identified as a member of the French Communist party by a
subcommittee of the United States Senate on August 6, 1962. 11
In an effort to capture and control the post office, the United Nations set up strategic
military positions under the protection of a large hospital which they had conveniently
established across the street. To their credit, the United Nations doctors there finally
resigned en masse, stating "the building was being turned into a support fortress." 12
The forty-six civilian doctors of Elisabethville reported:
The hospital of the Italian Red Cross, which is situated behind the post
office and opposite the Banque du Congo, was militarised BV the UNO.
The personnel of this hospital wore the uniforms of the UNO. Already
before September 13, 1961 [when the attack began], this hospital was
in a state of armed defence: sandbags, shelters for riflemen and
machine-gunners. . . .
. . . on the morning of September 13th, the alleged defences were really
used as combat stations from which, at the beginning of the attack on
the post office by the mercenaries of the UNO, a well-sustained fire
helped the massacre of the defenders of this public building. 13
UPI correspondent Ray Moloney drove a hundred miles to Bancroft in Northern Rhodesia
to file the following eyewitness account:
I watched the counterattack from inside the UN Red Cross hospital
which had machine guns set up along the terrace. United Nations troops
were firing from the hospital in the shadow of a giant Red Cross flag. . . .
I also saw UN troops fire on a Katangese ambulance as it tried to reach
the twitching bodies of unarmed Katangese police who were ripped to
pieces by UN machine-gun bullets after the cease fire sounded. 14
Frustrated in its anticipation of an easy victory, the United Nations began to turn Operation
Morthor into Operation Terror. Blue-helmeted soldiers displaying the UN emblem of peace
fired wantonly at civilians, ambulances, automobiles--anything that moved. A Roman
Catholic priest was murdered on his way to collect the Holy Sacrament from St. Paul's
Convent; the charred remains of his body were later found in the burned shell of his
automobile which had been hit by a bazooka shot from a United Nations armored car. An
ambulance man, dressed in white and wearing a Red Cross armband was machinegunned
while stepping out of his ambulance to help the wounded; his leg had to be
amputated to save his life. A housewife was murdered while riding with her husband down
a peaceful street to buy groceries. These and literally hundreds of similar cases have
been carefully documented. There are always unfortunate killings of innocent civilians as
the accidental by-product of any war. But the consistent pattern of such atrocities in
Katanga clearly reveals that they could only have been the result of deliberate design.
Beginning on September 18 and continuing several times daily, UN convoys traveling
along the Boulevard Rhine Elisabeth and Avenue Stanley fired machine guns at virtually
every home they passed. The one dwelling that received the most punishment of all was
