13-01-2004: Tom Hurndall has died. A Vigil took place on Wed 14. Background information here and website.

On New Year's Day the Israeli sniper who shot activist Tom Hurndall brain dead was arrested. The army leadership has now admitted that its initial accusations of Tom being armoured and in camouflage, as well as its claim that the soldier was returning Palestinian fire, were lies.

Tom, a Manchester photography student, was shot in Rafah (Gaza, Palestine) in April last year while pulling away children out of the way of a tank.
