Israeli assault on Gaza threatens wider Middle East conflagration

With each day that passes, Israel’s attempt to justify military aggression as a response to the capture of an Israeli soldier becomes less credible. Tel Aviv has signaled not only its intention to bring down the Hamas-led Palestinian Authority (PA), but also its readiness to inflict massive destruction to Gaza’s infrastructure and heavy civilian casualties in order to do so.

The Yorkshire Ripper Cover Up

Peter Newman | 28-06-2006 21:41 | Analysis | Sheffield
