You forgot to mention that three Israeli troops had been killed overnight in the same area by Hamas terrorists. Hamas regularly sends unguided Katyusha and Qassam rockets into densely populated parts of Israel in the hope of killing whoever happens to be underneath when they go off. Any journalist or cameraman covering a nation with very active terrorists such as Hizbollah, Hamas and Fatah runs the risk of kidnapping, injury or death. However unfotunate, these risks 'go with the terrirory'. Question: Is this the same Fidal Shana, the 'Palestinian' who may have been working for Iran and that the same day the Palestinian Authority released the men who its own forces had kidnapped!

Robert has been posting lies about Hillary Clinton here for weeks. Can anyone answer that? 'Fadel Shana and flechettes' Posted by Adrian Monck, Thursday, April 17 http://tinyurl.com/6jcaop
