Several officials told the rights groups that the migrants may have been mistaken for mercenaries, who reportedly were planning a coup. Some 44 Ghanaians and several Nigerians, including two women, left from neighboring Senegal in a motorized canoe in hopes of catching a boat that eventually would take them to Europe, the rights groups said. The other migrants were executed near the capital, Banjul, and along the Senegal-Gambia border near Jammeh's hometown of Kanilai, the rights groups said. No arrests have been made in the killings, the rights groups said. The rights groups now argue that the new evidence shows clearly that the Junglers were responsible.
