Spotter plane seen over UN compound

Article Abstract:

A videotape made by a United Nations soldier of the Israeli attack on the UN base at Qana, Lebanon, provides firm evidence that Israel was fully aware of the target it was shelling. It shows an Israeli artillery 'spotter' aircraft before and during the attack, and has forced Israel to drop its denial that such an aircraft was ever used. It is clear that only one shell fell outside the UN compound, in the opposite direction to the Katyusha launch site at which the Israelis claim to have been firing.

Qana is the place Jesus turned water into wine. To this US resident it is the refugee camp in which he lost two sons to Israeli shells. Now America is forcing him to go back to Qana against his will

Article Abstract:

Americans did not really understand what happened in the Israeli attack on the United Nations compound in Qana, Lebanon, on Apr 18, 1996, according to Haidar Bittar, a Lebanese who was in the US at the time of the attack but whose two sons, who were being cared for by their grandmother, perished. He feels that the US government should bear some of the responsibility for the attack, which was carried out with weapons supplied by the US. He has now been ordered by the US authorities to return to Lebanon, but he fears that he will targeted by Israel if he does so.
