Palestinian Investigation Finds Israel Responsible For Killing Journalist Shireen Abu Akleh
Ramallah, Occupied West Bank, Palestine – Two weeks after Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was killed while on assignment covering an Israeli raid in Jenin, a press conference announced the results of a Palestinian investigation finding Israeli forces responsible for the killing. Abu Akleh was a veteran reporter for Al Jazeera and beloved by Palestinians across the region as well as by her colleagues.
Providing proof that the bullet that killed Abu Akleh was from a U.S. made Mini-14 Ruger sniper rifle used by Israeli forces, Palestinian Attorney General Akram Al-Khatib and the Deputy Prime Minister of Palestine, Nabil Abu Rudeineh, spoke at the presidential headquarters in Ramallah. “This report directly accuses Israel’s occupation army for this crime,” said Rudeineh.
