Shireen Abu Akleh: Key US senator demands answers on killing

Al Jazeera  

Patrick Leahy suggests US assistance to Israel could be restricted to ensure accountability for journalist’s killing. Washington, DC – United States Senator Patrick Leahy, a senior Democrat, has raised a series of questions about the killing of Shireen Abu Akleh in a statement that also suggested that US aid to Israel could be restricted to ensure accountability. On Thursday, the veteran senator said it “must be” applied to Israel if Abu Akleh, who was Palestinian American, was killed intentionally. “If the soldier who fired the fatal shot did not intend to kill Ms. Abu Akleh, what did he intend?” the senator said. What evidence is there, if any, that anyone in the immediate vicinity of where Ms. Abu Akleh was shot was firing at the soldier who killed her?” Leahy also asked if Israeli soldiers who attacked Abu Akleh’s funeral and beat the mourners carrying her coffin had been reprimanded.
