The Court has traveled to Liberia for the second time in less than a month to particularly hear defence witnesses after the Sierra Leonean government did not honor its request to go there.
“Gibril was selected as head of that delegation,” said Defense 7. He said they passed through Lofa County, where they “clear the way” to come to Monrovia. Rebels from the Liberians United for reconciliation and Democracy , were battling Taylor’s forces in the county and prosecutors alleged that the RUF rebels were used to back up Taylor’s troops against the LURD rebels.
Defence 7 denied Mr Massaquoi was involved in what he called a special operation, which he said was carried out on Taylor’s instructions. He alleged Taylor sent them arms and ammunition through Benjamin Yeaten, one of his trusted military chiefs.The witness said Taylor rewarded them at the end of the operation.
