Autopsy shows British cameraman killed by Israeli army
Ha'aretz reports that Israel's Forensic Institute has determined that "British journalist James Miller, who was shot dead last week in the Gaza Strip town of Rafah, was hit by IDF fire, not by Palestinian fire...". Here's an earlier Guardian article on the murder.Of course, the Israeli army had immediately blamed the Palestinians. The Israeli army suggested that Palestinian militants may have shot Miller, while asserting their innocence:
A British journalist shot dead while filming Israeli army operations in a strife-ridden area of the Gaza Strip was hit from behind, raising the possibility that he was killed by Palestinian fire and not by Israeli troops, the IDF said yesterday...Witnesses said that an Israeli tank opened fire at the journalists, but the army denied there were tanks in the area.Meaning, they lied. Let the cover-up begin.
