Flotilla


JERUSALEM - Israel's military is using video confiscated from people on the Gaza-bound aid flotilla to justify opening fire during its deadly raid on the ships, drawing sharp criticism Thursday from foreign correspondents who say some of the footage was shot by journalists.

WASHINGTON - The Obama administration had urged Israel to use "caution and restraint" with the half a dozen aid boats bound for the Gaza Strip before Israeli commandos raided the flotilla this week in an operation that killed nine people.

ISTANBUL - The head of an Islamic charity group that organized the pro-Palestinian aid flotilla to Gaza claimed Thursday the beating of some Israeli soldiers during a deadly raid was self defense.

ISTANBUL - Turkey's NTV television says an initial forensic report concludes that the nine activists killed in the Israeli commando raid on the aid flotilla to Gaza died of gunshot wounds.
