Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Gilbert Diendéré" in English language version.
Campaoré denied that he had issued orders for Sankara's assassination, and claimed to have been at home in bed ill at the time of the killing. Many found it hard to believe that his men would have acted on their own. And they were Compaoré's men. The killers included Sergeant Hyacinthe Kafando, Compaoré's aide de camp. He and the other known assailants all served directly under Captain Gilbert Diendéré, then the commander of the Pô commando base and soon to become head of Compaoré's military security force.
