The Israeli army has cleared one of its soldiers in the shooting death of British filmmaker James Miller. He was shot dead in Rafah in 2003 while working on a documentary about Palestinian children caught up in the conflict. At the time of the shooting he was carrying a white flag, was wearing a helmet clearly marked TV; and he had told the soldiers that he was a British journalist. Israel’s own advocate general had recommended the soldier involved in the killing be severely disciplined because it marked a clear breach of army rules of engagement. But the head of Israel’s Southern Command overturned that recommendation and dismissed the charges. The Independent newspaper of London reports the British government is formally protesting the decision.
