US says Israeli shot ‘likely responsible’ for death of Abu Akleh

Al Jazeera  

But the US Department of State says the investigation is inconclusive on the origin of the bullet that killed the Al Jazeera journalist. The US Department of State has said that independent investigators could “not reach a definitive conclusion” regarding the origin of the bullet that killed Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, but said Israeli military gunfire was “likely responsible” for her death. The United Nations human rights office last month said that information it had gathered showed that the bullet that killed Abu Akleh was fired by Israeli forces. “Those special forces, to put it bluntly, are assassination groups, assassination units from the Israeli army.” Abu Akleh’s family said in a statement it was “incredulous” that the examination could not determine whose gun fired the bullet that killed her. “We say Israel killed Shireen Abu Akleh and it has to be held responsible for the crime it has committed.” Al Jazeera’s Mike Hanna, reporting from Washington, DC, said that the US State Department’s statement on the shooting likely being unintentional “is a key issue” that will be widely questioned.
