Bellingcat (spelling as well bell¿ngcat) is an investigative search network around the British network activist Eliot Higgins. It investigates the use of weapons in the Syrian civil war. It caught sight of an analysis of processed satellite images of the downing of the MH-17 passenger car during the war in the Eastern Ukraine.
Name
The name derives from the speech "belling the cat". This goes back to a medieval fable. In this, the mice advise how to make the cat harmless. One suggests hooking a bell around his neck, but there is no one to do it.[1]
Prehistory
Eliot Higgins began the Brown Moses blog in March 2012 with investigations of videos from the Syrian Civil War.[2]
