The European Jewish Press reports that France 2 TV has agreed allow an independent group of experts to examine its footage of Mohammed al-Dura:
The working group of independent experts, to be set up probably in November, will be headed by Patrick Gaubert, chairman of Licra, the International League Against Racism and Anti-Semitism, who is also a member of the European Parliament.
France 2’s now discredited footage of al-Dura’s death in September, 2000, turned the 12-year-old-boy into an icon and helped fuel the intifada.
