Israeli Military Won't Investigate Killing of Al Jazeera Journalist Shireen Abu Akleh 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Israel's military has decided not to open a criminal investigation into
the killing of Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh - that's
according to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz. Witnesses and fellow
journalists say the Palestinian American journalist was killed by an
Israeli soldier while reporting on an Israeli military raid in Jenin in
the occupied West Bank. Abu Akleh's family had told Al Jazeera that they
would not be surprised if Israel failed to investigate her killing.
