<b>Israel admits killing British UN worker</b>


The Israeli army has acknowledged that its troops shot a British UN worker who died during an Israeli raid on a Palestinian refugee camp in the West Bank on Friday.

An army statement said preliminary investigations indicated that two soldiers identified a man in a UN compound "holding an object that looked like a pistol" and opened fire at him.

Iain Hook, 53, an employee of the UN Relief and Works Agency (Unwra) in the Jenin refugee camp died before reaching hospital in an incident that drew criticism from UN Secretary General Kofi Annan.

The army said shooting was coming from the compound when the soldiers opened fire, although there is no independent confirmation of this.

Unwra says it will carry out its own investigation into the shooting.

fuckers

At least they admitted it instead of trying to pretend the Palestinians shot the guy.
