American Samizdat

Wednesday, October 22, 2003. *
In an interview with AM, one of Israel's most decorated fighter pilots has condemned air strikes which hit innocent civilians as "immoral" and "unlawful".

Reserve Brigadier-General Yiftah Spector is the most senior of 27 Israeli airmen to sign a petition in which they say they no longer want to "obey illegal and immoral orders" or to take part in raids against populated civilians centers.

Our Middle East Correspondent, Mark Willacy, reports from Jerusalem.

Also wounded in the F-16 attack were three other children and a 70-year old woman. [more]
