Turkish Court Orders Arrest of Israeli Commanders for Raid on Gaza Flotilla 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
In Turkey, a court has ordered the arrest of four former Israeli
military commanders for the killings of Turkish activists on board a
Gaza-bound aid flotilla in 2010. Israeli commandos stormed the aid ship
Mavi Marmara in international waters, killing nine activists, including
one with U.S. citizenship. On Friday, a Turkish man injured in the raid
reportedly died after four years in a coma, bringing the total death
toll to 10.
