During the course of the expedition, numerous people were found murdered in Gao's Montero Cave System, which launched a joint UNSC-Gao Ministry of Protection investigation into the murders. The UNSC believed that the murders were committed by radicals wishing to blame them on the UNSC occupation, while many of the Gaos were convinced the UNSC to be responsible.[4]
