Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Israel troops 'ignored' UN plea
2006-07-28
More on the shelling of the UN outpost. This is the push-back from the other side by the BBC. Curiously, no mention is made about how Hezbollah built many of their bunkers right next to UNIFIL sites.
UN peacekeepers in south Lebanon contacted Israeli troops 10 times before an Israeli bomb killed four of them, an initial UN report says. The post was hit by a precision-guided missile after six hours of shelling, diplomats familiar with the probe say.

The four unarmed UN observers from Austria, Canada, China and Finland, died after their UN post in the town of Khiam was hit by an Israeli air strike on Tuesday.

The UN report says each time the UN contacted Israeli forces, they were assured the firing would stop.

A senior Irish soldier working for the UN forces had warned the Israelis six times that their bombardment was endangering the lives of UN staff, Ireland's foreign ministry said. Had Israel responded to the requests, "rather than deliberately ignoring them", the observers would still be alive, a diplomat familiar with the report said.

Israel is conducting an investigation into the incident. It has rejected accusations made by UN Secretary General Kofi Annan that the targeting of the UN position was "apparently deliberate".

#14  #13: "Actually he/she/it is from Los Angeles"

If you shorten "he/she/it" to "shit" it will save you a few keystrokes.

And be much more accurate. ;-p

#9  Hmm. If I was somewhere out in Sh@tsville, after having allowed Hezbullah to build fortifications right next to my "observation post" and getting bombed, I would bug out if they weren't receiving my requests to stop.

But then again, I have a few functioning brain cells left over after my college partying days. Sometimes stupidity does have a death penalty, and deservedly so.

#8  They've debated on whether or not to allow Al Jazeera in the US, but from what I've heard lately, it's got alot of opposition because it's nothing but a propaganda tool for terrorists. The BBC is no different, and should be banned on the same basis.
