Israel Clears Soldier in Death of Cameraman
The Israeli army cleared an officer of wrongdoing in the killing of a British cameraman in the Gaza Strip almost two years ago, drawing an official protest from London.
James Miller was shot May 2, 2003, in the Rafah refugee camp while making a documentary about Palestinian children caught in fighting with Israel.
Witnesses said Israeli troops shot him at close range though he wore journalist insignia and waved a white flag. The film shows Miller, 34, approaching an armored vehicle in the dark before the fatal shots sounded.
