Yet that article suggests that the bloodbath was an avoidable fiasco.  (And
what bloodbath isn't?)

Here's an article that reports a claim that the prisoners had stormed the
armory and a claim that a number of the prisoners had been bound, and notes
that Amnesty International has called for an inquiry.

But can this article be trusted?  After all, it's from a mainstream media
outlet--not the "alternative press."
