Updates: No torture, but plenty of terrorists
Mumbai victim coming to Israel
Dr. Gajanan Chawan, who saw the bodies, told The Jerusalem Post on Tuesday he did not believe the wounds he observed suggested the hostages had been tortured prior to their deaths.
Asked if he saw any evidence of torture on the bodies, Chawan replied, “No, I don’t think so.” He added that the majority of the wounds he could identify had been caused by firearms.
On Monday, a morgue employee at the JJ hospital who had also seen the bodies told the Post by telephone that the bodies of the Jewish victims had a higher number of gunshot wounds than the bodies of other victims.
“On the Jewish bodies, there were more injuries in numbers, they were firearms injuries,” the morgue official said.
A strange sort of comfort, but comforting nonetheless.
Back in Tel Aviv, however, the incredible police mobilization earlier in the week produced results. According to a close friend in the Tel Aviv District Police, three terrorists were captured with explosives in a small apartment on Levinsky Street. Almost nothing was said on the news, so it may be the beginning of something big – a terror network we’ll hear about again when it is rolled up for good.
