      Lebanon Revises Death Toll in Bombing Raid from 60 to One


      (IsraelNN.com) After circulating reports that 60 people perished in an Israel Air Force bombing raid in Lebanon on Monday, the revised report indicates one life was lost.

      Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora reports that one person was killed in the raid in the southern Lebanese village of Houla, and not 40 or 60 as earlier reports alleged.

      Siniora was quick to accuse Israel of a “horrific massacre,” blaming Jerusalem for the deliberate act, but he has since admitted the facts in the case are somewhat less devastating than he first indicated.
