"The first room was dark,everything was in disorder, but there was no one . In the second , amid disembowelled furniture and all sorts of debris , I found some bodies cold .Here the cleaning had been done with machine guns,then hand grenades.It had been finished with knives -anyone could see that.The same thing in the next room , but as I was about to leave I heard something like a sigh .I looked everywhere , turned over all the bodies , and eventually found a little foot ,still warm.
It was a little girl of ten, mutilated by a hand grenade but still alive .Everywhere it was the same horrible sight....there had been 400 people in this village -about 50 had escaped. All the rest had been deliberately massacred in cold blood for,as I observed for myself , this gang was admirably disciplined and acted only under orders"
