"Gaza, many bodies thrown into the sea"

A photographer shot in close, to the head. Corpses thrown overboard. Serious injuries disappeared in Israeli hospitals. The story of international activists deported from Israel and arrived yesterday morning in Turkey is that of a South American-style massacre. Testimonials serious, but unsupported by evidence or records. Although some cameramen and a director on board the Mavi Marmara swear to be able to save searches, some cards from digital images of the blitz. The return of bodies from Jerusalem has at least clarified the nationality of the victims discovered, nine. Eight of the Turkish nationality, the ninth is a boy aged 19, of Turkish origin but with U.S. nationality. The young man was called Furkan Dogan and was hit by four bullets in the head and one in the chest, according to Turkish Anadolu Agency's reconstruction.

Certainties end there. Reconstruction of peace, greeted as heroes upon their arrival at Istanbul airport, is in fact very far from that supplied by the Israeli army. "It was an act of piracy. We were kidnapped, "he told the Swedish crime writer Henning Mankell, aboard the Ms Sophia, the Swedish ship of the group. The most serious charges often come from Brazilian filmmaker Iara Lee, who followed the Freedom Flotilla to shoot a documentary. "We have seen the body of a computer technician - told - sprawled face down, with a hole in his neck." Lee, of Korean origin, were seized lenses and equipment for hundreds of thousands of dollars, but he says, "we managed to save some occasions, the show in the world."

According to the director, there are many people seriously injured, hospitalized in Tel Aviv, "that now threaten his life, and the balance of the real massacre," is nineteen victims, not nine, because many bodies were thrown overboard 'by command, after being killed. Australian confirmed as a nurse Jenny Campbell, who was also aboard the Mavi Marmara, which claims to have "counted at least 19 people dead, the ship's infirmary." To ease its position, the Israeli army released a video, shot on Mavi Marmara, showing an activist state its desire to become a "shahid, a martyr for the cause of Islam. According to Jerusalem, the ship was in fact controlled by a terrorist group close to Al Qaeda. Condition of course denied by the Humanitarian Aid Foundation (IHH), the owner of Mavi Marmara Turkish NGOs.

The Chairman Bulent Yildirim, however, has confirmed the great battle which preceded the massacre. "True, some of our military to have snatched the guns, but have not used, although it was their right, threw them into the sea." Yildirim also insisted on the alleged disappearances in Israeli hospitals, "Our doctors - he explained - were delivered to Israel 38 people injured, but then we were told that the inmates were only 21." For the pacifist Islamic leader-Jerusalem is rigging the cards on the massacre. Massacre that, as other pacifists, would begin the first dell'abbordaggio, with the special troops that would begin to shoot from helicopters. "There were already three deaths on the ship - says the activist Spaniard Manuel Tapial -. They arrived killing, firing tear gas and fragmentation bombs deafening. We never attacked us, it's a shame that Israel accuses us. "
