LONDON (REUTERS) - Findings show that Israeli security forces fired the bullets that killed Palestinian-American Al Jazeera reporter Shireen Abu Akleh in May, and not indiscriminate firing from Palestinians, a spokesman for the United Nations' human rights office said on Friday (June 24).
"It is deeply disturbing that Israeli authorities have not conducted a criminal investigation," Ms Ravina Shamdasani told a briefing in Geneva.
Israeli and Palestinians officials have exchanged recriminations over the incident, which has heightened tensions.
