Israeli Military Orders Palestinian Journalist Detained Without Charge for 4 Months
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Israeli military has ordered a Palestinian journalist to be held for
four months without charge or trial. Omar Nazzal is a leading member of
the Palestinian journalists' union. Israeli authorities have claimed he
is a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, which
Israel deems a terrorist group. But his attorney says he is being
targeted for his activism.
