'VN-medewerker gedood door Israëlische kogels'
JERUZALEM (ANP) - De Britse VN-medewerker die vrijdag om het leven kwam in het Palestijnse vluchtelingenkamp in Jenin, stierf door Israëlische kogels. Dat heeft de Israëlische radio zaterdag gemeld.

De eerste resultaten van het onderzoek wijzen uit dat de schoten zijn afgevuurd van Israëlische zijde, meldde een verslaggever van de radio. Een soldaat zou per ongeluk hebben geschoten op de medewerker van Unwra, de VN-organisatie voor Palestijnse vluchtelingen.

De Brit Ian Hook werd geraakt tijdens een vuurgevecht tussen Israëlische soldaten en Palestijnse strijders. Hij overleed op weg naar een ziekenhuis.

,,Hook holde een gebouw binnen met een mobiele telefoon in zijn hand. De soldaat dacht dat het ging om een poging hen aan te vallen'', aldus het voorlopige onderzoek.

De Britse regering eist een diepgaand onderzoek naar de dood van Hook. Volgens berichten in de Israëlische media zou de Israëlische minister van Buitenlandse Zaken Netanyahu zijn Britse collega Straw hebben gebeld om zijn condoleances te geven. Netanyahu zou een onderzoek hebben toegezegd.

Border Police vow to probe beating of journalists in Hebron

By Reuters




Border Police have pledged to investigate an incident in which three policemen attacked a group of 15 journalists in the West Bank city of Hebron.

Azzi Sayah, commander of the border police in Hebron, said he would personally head an investigation into Tuesday's incident, which involved Palestinian journalists from Reuters, al-Jazeera satellite television and U.S. network ABC.

"I will carry out a full investigation," Sayah, who was hurt in an ambush by Palestinian gunmen in Hebron last week, told Reuters during a meeting to discuss the incident after the international news organisation lodged a complaint.

The incident was the latest of many that have prompted journalists to complain of mistreatment by Israeli forces since the start of a Palestinian uprising two years ago. Most incidents involved the army, not the border police, a paramilitary police unit.

The group of journalists said they had just stepped into the street outside the home of Reuters cameraman Mazan Dana after dinner when three border police emerged from behind a wall on the opposite side of the narrow street.

One of the policemen said they had been waiting for the journalists to emerge for more than two hours, the journalists said.

Reuters cameraman Mamoun Wazwaz, 27, said he was knocked to the ground and one of the policemen struck him in the leg with an M-16 assault rifle.

"Suddenly we heard shouting and they were beating Mamoun," said Reuters cameraman Nael Shyoukhi. "We told them we were journalists and not to deal with us like criminals."

Wazwaz's colleagues rushed him to a nearby hospital, where x-rays showed no broken bones. He was treated and released.

The journalists, who were shoved against a wall and held at gunpoint, said the attack was unprovoked. They said a policeman held a gun to the head of ABC cameraman Amar Jabawi when he tried to tell the policemen they were journalists.

The police then asked to see some of their documents.

The incident occurred about 200 meters from an Israeli border police post in the Israeli-ruled part of Hebron, which was divided into Israeli- and Palestinian-run sections under a 1997 peace accord.

Israeli forces reoccupied the entire city at the weekend after Palestinian gunmen killed five border police, four soldiers and three armed settlers in an ambush last Friday. Tensions have been high since then.

The border police have not commented publicly on the incident. Sayah was not expected to comment until after the investigation.

The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) criticized the border police in a statement issued in Brussels late on Thursday saying: "Antagonism towards Palestinian journalists has risen to unacceptable levels of intimidation."

The Committee to Protect Foreign Journalists, a reporters' rights group, described the West Bank earlier this year as the worst place for journalists to work.

Reuters cameraman Jussry al-Jamal and Agence France Presse photographer Hussam Abu Alan spent more than five months in detention without trial or charge earlier this year after being arrested while working in Hebron.

Waarom is het kindje er ook niet bijvermeld die door kogels is doorzeefd? Zijn de Palesteinen minderwaardig ofso?

Tjah westerse media, en die zionisten gebruiken het woord "ongelukje" bij elke moord/incident die door de Joden worden gepleegd!
