Check out this AP headline from the Star Tribune:
Gen. Butt Naked, Liberian ex-rebel leader, confesses to killing thousands

AMMONROVIA, Liberia – One of Liberia’s most notorious rebel commanders, known as Gen. Butt Naked, has returned to confess his role in terrorizing the nation, saying he is responsible for 20,000 deaths.
Joshua Milton Blahyi, who now lives in Ghana, returned this week to face his homeland’s truth and reconciliation commission, this time wearing a suit and tie. His nom de guerre is derived from his platoon’s practice of charging naked into battle, a technique meant to terrify the enemy.
