We read in al Maarif of Ibn Qutaibah al-Dainoori page 90 that:
"The Governor of Basra Uthman bin Hunaif was arrested and imprisoned and 50 men in the treasury were killed.”
"Uthman bin Hunaif was arrested and a messenger was sent to Ayesha for her opinion on what should be done to him. Ayesha said that he should be killed. A woman pleaded for his (Uthman's) life so Ayesha ordered that he be imprisoned, he was flogged 40 stripes and the hair from his hair, beard and eyebrows was removed. Ayesha and her supporters also killed a further 70 people without reason".
(Tadkhirath al Khawwas page 26)
"Ayesha (l.a.) and her companions killed 40 people inside the treasury and arrested Uthman bin Hunaif, she stated that he should be executed".
(In al-Isteeaab, volume 1 page 322)
"In Kufa Abu Burdha Azdi asked Hadhrath 'Ali, 'why were people killed at Jamal?'. 'Ali replied 'They killed my Shi'a and my officials without any justification, then they fought me, despite the fact that they gave me bayya, they killed 1000 of my companions".
(Mataalib al-So'l, page 119)
