Israel Blocks UN Death Probe

Posted on Monday, October 02 at 09:32 by jensonj
The UN observation post and patrol base near the southern Lebanese town of Khiam came under Israeli fire July 25, including four artillery shells that made direct hits. The United Nations repeatedly asked the Israeli Defence Forces to halt the bombardment, without success. After the headquarters of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon, or UNIFIL, lost contact with the base, two armoured personnel carriers were sent to the site. They found the base destroyed and the four peacekeepers dead. They were Maj. Paeta Hess-von Kruedener of Kingston, Ont., Maj. Hans Peter Lang of Austria, Maj. Zhaoyu Du of China, and Lt. Jarno Tapio Makinen of Finland. http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/Canada/2006/09/29/pf-1918674.html

    It sounds like nothing will come of this. Harper will not be interested in getting at the truth. He'll use "measured" amounts of money and time just like Bush did for 9/11. And speaking of that when will Harper do an investigation into that lie of the century? His "new" government is so new that diaper rash must be preventing them from doing anything that would require walking on two feet and raising their knuckles off the carpet. He wants to make political hay out of the "9/11, 9/11, 9/11" mantra yet would never consider doing an investigation.
