BBC World just reported that the uN official killed was actuall a British Citizen.
Reports just coming in of an explosion in Jerusalem. Situation is tense here in ramallah. Yesterday the PA evacuated all their offices in ramallah and the red cross sent in extra ambulances and medical staff, fearing that the israeli soldiers would reenter ramallah. they withdrew partially over two weeks ago and lifted night curfew for the first time since june 23. Also yesterday drone aircraft were constantly flying around the city adding to fears that we'd have tanks patroling the streets again.
can anyone definitely say what nationality the UN officer was? I've read here and in reuters that he was Irish, but on two irish publications that he was british.
sorry :D
Who the hell cares what the man's nationality was, he has become yet another victim of the Zionist Racists. I am relieved to hear that Caoimhe Butterly is not seriously injured.
