Israel Pays $2 Million to Family of Slain British Journalist
------------------------------------------------------------



In other news from the region, Israel has paid around $2 million in
damages to the family of a British cameraman who was shot by an Israeli
soldier in Gaza in 2003. The family of James Miller accepted the
payment, saying it was as close to an admission of guilt from Israel as
they were ever likely to get. Miller was in Gaza working on a
documentary about Palestinian children caught up in the conflict. The
documentary, Death in Gaza, later aired on HBO and won three Emmys.
