Comments on: The Art of Alleged http://www.israellycool.com/2006/04/24/the-art-of-alleged/ Down Under Punditry in the Middle East Fri, 25 May 2012 07:51:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Anonymoushttp://www.israellycool.com/2006/04/24/the-art-of-alleged/comment-page-1/#comment-5737 Anonymous Thu, 18 May 2006 09:42:00 +0000 http://www.israellycool.com/2006/04/24/the-art-of-alleged/#comment-5737 As I was the one taking the photo mentioned above and i can confirm that it was Israeli undercover forces that killed him. I was on the spot together with other journalist less than 5 minutes after the ambush. When you read captions to pictures like this you can be sure that the photographer on the spot sees whats going on and will put it accuratley in the caption. If you see the rest of the pictures from the same event you would see how Israeli soldiers arrest the other two militants (one was dragged naked and half dead around on the street by Israeli soldiers). The reson why it say "alleged Palestinian militants" is that 2 of them was unarmed and that they might have been just a driver or relative to the militants. Since we did not have the name of all 3 involved in the incident it was better not to say that they all are militants.Magnus Johansson As I was the one taking the photo mentioned above and i can confirm that it was Israeli undercover forces that killed him.

Perhaps the militant was only alleged to be Palestinian. Maybe it was one of those Kadima militants -- who can say until the IDF confesses? Nice analysis.
