This is hearsay, but seems to come from eyewitnesses. There was a funeral procession following the deaths of protestors. They left the burial site and marched back into the city centre. As they passed a military base they were greeted by the soldiers and 60 were invited in as representatives. They were not attacking the base, but the troops did seem to be trying to pacify them because of the large number.
They were all shot and the bodies thrown into the street.
Again - this is hearsay, but it enraged those present because the men were greeted as friends, kissed and hugged. In the Arab world to turn on a person you have greeted in friendship is one of the worst crimes imaginable.
So that part at least sounds palusible.
