MONROVIA, Liberia – Prosecutors stepped up their case against former RUF commander Gibril Massaquoi for war crimes on Wednesday putting a former bodyguard of Foday Sankoh, leader of the Revolutionary United Forces (RUF), on the stand who told the Finnish Court that RUF special fighters were sent into Liberia from 2000 to 2001 for a “diplomatic mission”. Massaquoi, he said, was one of them.
The prosecution witness, a Sierra Leonean codenamed Civilian 09 by the court to protect his identity, said he it was his job to receive RUF guests coming into Monrovia. He would receive them and transport them to their guest house in Congo Town.

The sight of Bradley International Airport was devastating the morning of Oct. 2, 2019.
At 9:53 a.m., a Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress was destroyed during an emergency landing that went awry. The forced touchdown was sparked by engine troubles the plane experienced before taking off that then continued into its flight above the airport in Windsor Locks, Connecticut.
