Evidence That Arabs Shot 12-Year-Old Muhammad

A prominent German television station will broadcast a documentary movie tomorrow night casting strong doubts on the Arab version of the death of 12-year-old Muhammad A-Dura in Gaza at the beginning of the Oslo War. The PA capitalized on footage of the death of the boy cowering behind his father, broadcast countless times throughout the world, as an example of Israeli aggression. The possibility that Arabs might actually have fired the fatal shots, as claimed by many Israelis, was essentially ignored. The film to be screened tomorrow, however, shows much evidence indicating that PA forces killed the boy. The findings include the angle of fire, the duration and radius of the shots, the force with which the bullets penetrated the wall behind the boy, and the precision of the shots.
