Shireen Abu Aqleh killed by 'seemingly well-aimed' Israeli bullet, UN says | The Guardian |

The UN has said its investigations have found that the shot that killed Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Aqleh on 11 May was fired by Israeli forces.

The Palestinian-American journalist, who was wearing a vest and helmet marked "press", was killed while covering an Israeli army operation in Jenin, in the northern West Bank.

A slap on the wrist by US White House would be too harsh, in private conversation we'll make clear these acts are "not helpful".

The UN confirmed the bullet used to kill journalist #ShireenAbuAkleh was fired by Israeli forces -- calling Israel's refusal to open a criminal probe "disturbing."

Shireen was shot in the head while wearing a press vest.
