A mysterious mass murder happened in the Alps, recently on New Year's Day 2013, in Daillon, Switzerland.

A gunman thought to have murdered three women in a rampage through an Alpine village is to be questioned about a similar massacre on a British family last year, it emerged....
Police in Switzerland are waiting to interview the 33-year-old psychiatric patient, named locally by his first name Cedric, thought to be responsible for [the January 1st] carnage in Daillon, in the Valais canton, 60 miles east of Geneva.
The man, who has a history of threatening people with guns, is in a 'stable condition' in intensive care after being shot in the chest by a tactical police firearms unit.... Read more here.

Note how on the map, the location of Sion.

For some reason, this event brought to mind Bob Marley's song, "Iron Lion Zion." And Dying!

As Theo P. mentions to me, "don't forget the Sion/Zion connection in The Matrix trilogy."  Read a summary of that here. See also more about the shadowy figure of Merovigian in The Matrix saga, and the source of the Merovigian = Priory of Sion.

In Kabbalah the more esoteric reference is made to Tzion being the spiritual point from which reality emerges, located in the Holy of Holies of the First, Second and Third Temple. Zion (Hebrew: ציון) (also transliterated Sion, Tzion or Tsion) is a place name often used as a synonym for Jerusalem.

It is intriguing to look at the etymology of Zion. Zion may be derived from the Hebrew root ''ṣiyyôn" ("castle"). Also, looking at the commonly used form based on German orthography, where z is always pronounced [t͡s] (e.g. "zog" [t͡soːk]), hence "Tsion" in German literature. 

Sion, Switzerland, 1572.

By coincidence, images of ancient views of Sion, Switzerland, have a remarkable "castle-like" look to them. 

Zug Castle. In Switerland.

It is not too far-fetched to see the link between Zog = Zug.

Also observed is that: "The attack took place less than 150 miles from the French village of Chevaline, near Annecy, where - in September last year - five people, including a British[-Iraqi] couple, were shot dead by a mystery gunman."

On January 4th, the media reported: "Police say that the guns used in the two incidents are not the same, although guns used in both incidents were old Swiss army guns."

What's going on? We don't know.

The following historical Zug event is being revisited due to what occurred in Daillon.

On September 27, 2001, Switzerland was left reeling by a gunman’s attack on the Zug regional parliament, which killed 14 local politicians. Coming as it did barely two weeks after the attack on New York’s twin towers, the shooting spree was especially traumatic.
On September 27, 2001, Friedrich Leibacher stormed into the chamber of the Zug cantonal parliament.
He was wearing a home-made police vest, and carrying a number of weapons, including an assault rifle, a pistol and a revolver.
In the space of two and a half minutes he fired more than 90 shots and ignited a home-made bomb.
At the end of the attack he killed himself.
Three members of the cantonal government and 11 members of parliament were killed.
Another 18 people were injured, some of them seriously.
Leibacher’s chief target, minister Robert Bisig, was unharmed.
Leibacher, who was 57, had a long history of legal disputes with the authorities, and felt he had been treated unfairly. Source.

"Assassination" in the Alps: Israeli Hit?

British police were said to have spent several weeks tracking the movements of Saad Al-Hilli at the start of the last Gulf War. Saad Al-Hilli's apparent family links to Saddam Hussein's ruling Ba'ath party in Iraq may be of significance. Daily Mail.

Saad al-Hilli has been identified as one of four victims shot in the Alps. He is a British man, born in Baghdad, Iraq, in 1962. Investigators reported that the man is a resident of the London suburb of Claygate, said Sipa News on Thursday morning.

Several media sources by the end of Thursday are saying Saad al-Hilli was working with the Iranian government on developing the nuclear facilities in Iran, and he and his family were killed by Israelis (Mossad?). The Telegraph noted he worked for a satellite and aerospace tech company attached to Surrey University. Other sources are saying al-Hilli
worked on the Iraqi nuclear program before moving to the UK and was under protection from MI5 against the Israelis.

In a shocking development revealed Wednesday night, a four-year-old girl crawled out from under the dead bodies in the car and walked smiling into the arms of forensic investigators. Immobilized with fear, the young British girl huddled for eight hours beneath the legs of her slain mother in the back of a car filled with corpses on a remote Alpine road. All victims in the car were apparently relatives.

As reported earlier...

Five people, including a young girl, have been shot in a forest in the Alps, French authorities said. Four are dead.
Reports from the scene said the bodies were riddled with bullets. Police are calling it an "assassination," reported Fox News.
All five were initially reported to be dead, but the girl, believed to be around 7 years old, is now reported to be in critical condition in a hospital, according to a local prosecutor.
An official with the regional administration for the Haute-Savoie region says three of the bodies were found in a BMW with British registration.
Sipa News says the girl was found alive with bullet wounds on a forest road.

It happened in an Alpine forest near Chevaline, close by the Annecy (English: Anne, Annex) Lake, in Haute-Savoie (English: Upper Savoy).

(Chevaline, meaning "of or relating to horses," was the code name for a project to improve the penetrability of the warheads used by the British Polaris nuclear weapons system. Devised as an answer to the improved Soviet defenses around Moscow, the system was intended to increase the probability that at least one warhead would penetrate the city's anti-ballistic missile - ABM - defenses.)

The initial reports said a cyclist discovered the girl, the three bodies in the car and a fourth body, of a cyclist, lying nearby.
The Annecy prosecutor Eric Maillaud said the discovery was like a scene from a film: "We don't know who could have done this. We have no idea."

The Haute-Savoie was one of the filming locations for the 2010 film directed by Clint Eastwood, Hereafter. The 2000 French psychological thriller about a murder investigation, The Crimson Rivers, directed by Mathieu Kassovitz, was also filmed in the area.

Maillaud added that the victims were "found very shortly after the shootings."
No details of the ages or nationality of the victims were released by the French police. Maillaud said: "The car is an English car, we are sure of that, but we don't know their nationality. It is not possible to move the people before tomorrow [Thursday] morning. We don't have access to documents to know who the people are."
A police spokesman told the Mirror: "From the registration we believe this family may have been British."
Sky News reported that another cyclist found the bodies. That cyclist is in shock.
The identity of the victims is unclear.
