    This is just a theory. What if the smugglers who found decimated bodies among wreckage from a mine being run over -- were allied? And the bodies which were buried were done so out of respect. However, the fact a prayer was said too, could symbolize a type of shared religion?

    Yeah I can imagine fight a war in the desert would suck as far as defensive positions especially if they are up against any sizable high tech military like the US. There's no cover, just sand. I know wouldn't want to be a sitting duck in the desert. Obviously we saw in Iraq in the 90s that even deep bunkers weren't safe.

    ​@drugoviic maybe you dont understand how poverty and corruption works in some parts of the world such as Libya. Do you know how easy it is to get hundreds even thousands of people to turn on you for money and the possibility of getting a life changing payment which may not be much to you but equivalent to 50k dollars to them? 500k dollars? You can put a hit out on someone for less the 10k where I'm from. This is exactly how corruption works in these poor and struggling countries. Gaddafi was in the process of changing this country's economic status and that's why he was taken out. You can simply Google all the things Gaddafi did and was doing in his country.
