>You should have heard from since yesterday on the facts surrounding the

>speechless and shocked by the incident. Everybody here is trying to come to
>terms with what happened. Ebrima, this country is now totally ruined by
>Yahya and his cohorts and we are only heading for doom and chaos, period.
>And tell people on the L, not to buy this notion that the vehicle carrying
>the two UDP MPs and others had an accident as a result of which people in
>it, died. Ebrima, there is more to it than just meet the eye. I am in fact
>surprised that die-hard UDP supporters are themselves promoting this idea
>of a car accident. The reason why God give all of us minds is for us to use
>them and think properly and critically. I saw Shyngle Nyassi who was also
>in the vehicle and he explained how the supposed accident happened.
>Fortunately for him, his condition was not very critical and as a result,
>he was discharged. Ebrima, did it make sense to you that the back tyres of
>the vehicle just burst and then the vehicle turned, leading to these deaths
>and injuries? Ebrima, the vehicle did not hit any other car or collide with
>a wall. What happened was that the vehicle was being driven and suddenly,
>the back tyres burst as a result of which it turned, leading to the deaths
>and injuries of these people. Does this make sense to you? No? Anyway, I
>have been liasing with my main two contacts at the NIA and the Army and it
>now seems to me, based on the information I gathered from my reliable
>contacts, that a grenade was deliberately thrown or put on the road for
>these people. Their vehicle, it now appears, had actually touched a grenade
>which was placed on the road for them. Ebrima, this supposed accident needs
>proper investigation but like in the case of Koro Ceesay, the government
>quickly cleared the road and the vehicle involved, so that no evidence will
>be found. In fact, a 22 July vehicle was sent to scene in the name of
>rescuing the victims. Who are they trying to deceive? The July 22 vehicle
>went to the scene of the accident to tamper with any potential evidence
>against the culprits. And while people are mourning, Yahya Jammeh has since
>left the country for Taiwan without even extending sympathy to the families
>of these people. By the way, the Kutobo Manneh involved in the supposed
>accident, is the one who sometimes sends mails to the L from Saudi Arabia.
>His wife died but he himself survived although injured just likewise Amadou
>Sanneh. Ebrima, this matter needs thorough investigation and if that is
>done, it is very likely that it would be discovered that a grenade was
>actually thrown at their vehicle. I hope Ousainou Darboe and other members
>of the opposition reading this mail will exercise greater care in future.
>They need to be on their guards as the elections approach because these
>nonentities are desperate. Thanks.
