In one of the links listed by op:
"GALLO SAW MANY CASUALTIES BROUGHT INTO THE SQUARE AND DID NOT DOUBT THAT HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE IN BEIJING WERE KILLED BY THE ARMY ON JUNE 3 AND 4."
Yup. Sounds like a massacre to me.

    Let me be clear here, no one's denying the skirmishes and bloodshed that happened there. But the way it is portrayed in the western media is actually far from the ground reality. Have a read at that btw even WikiLeaks provide evidence of fabrication by the US

    The title of the post is "massacre... fabricated by US". Not some details about massacre. Not location of deaths fabricated. The post reads as though you're claiming the whole thing was fabricated.
    For me, I don't think it makes a difference if hundreds of people were killed inside or outside the square.
