12 year old Mohammed Al-Durah was murdered by Israel soldiers, not
 "caught in the crossfire."  Please do not allow any instance of this
 whitewashing of his killing to go uncorrected.
 
 The following excerpts from a statement given under oath by Mr. Talal
 Abu Rahma, the photographer for France 2 television who filmed the
 murder, made at the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights on October 3,
 2000, is a detailed eye witness account of the killing.  It provides, as
if any were needed, definitive evidence that young Mohammed was murdered
 in cold blood, not "caught in the crossfire," as American news
 organizations continue to misreport:
 
 "Then, it was quite clear for me that shooting was towards the child
 Mohammed and his father from the opposite direction to them.  Intensive
 and intermittent shooting was directed at the two and the two outposts
 of the Palestinian National Security Forces.  The Palestinian outposts
 were not a source of shooting, as shooting from inside these outposts
 had stopped after the first five minutes, and the child and his father were not injured then.
 Injuring and killing took place during the following 45 minutes.  I can
 assert that shooting at the child Mohammed and his father Jamal came
 from the above - mentioned Israeli military outpost, as it was the only
 place from which shooting at the child and his father was possible.  So,
 by logic and nature, my long experience in covering hot incidents and
 violent clashes, and my ability to distinguish sounds of shooting, I can
 confirm that the child was intentionally and in cold blood shot dead and
 his father injured by the Israeli army."
