[edit] Comment

I'd like to see a citation for this: "Desmond Tutu once famously saved a near victim of necklacing when he rush into a large gathered crowd and threw his arms around a man who was about to be killed. Tutu's actions caused the crowd the release the man." --MacMoney 14:47, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

"At least one person has died by necklacing in the deadly Muslim protests of satirical cartoons drawn of the Prophet Muhammad" the following sentence was added by me and I also referenced it

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060219/ap_on_re_af/nigeria_prophet_drawings

However, the original Yahoo! article no longer exists. I guess someone removed the reference thinking it was the wrong link or something, and later someone else added the "fact" tag to the now unreferenced sentence. Just wanted to let people know that the Yahoo! article is the correct source, even though it no longer exists. I've since reinstated the reference.

Edit: People still keep removing the reference link...per WP:Cite it should stay until someone can find an equivalent page. --Mad Max 13:27, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Since I'm sure people will still keep removing the link despite policy I've searched the web and it seems other websites are using the same AP article Yahoo! used, see the second paragraph of this San Diego Union-Tribune article. --Mad Max 19:28, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] How many?

This article gives no idea how many victims of these mongrels were necklaced. It might have been two, or thousands. Anyone know? 121.217.26.178 (talk) 07:40, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
