Straw outraged by Palestinian casualties


The foreign secretary, Jack Straw, said today he was "deeply shocked" by the Israeli army's disclosure that hundreds of Palestinians had been killed in fighting at the refugee camp at Jenin.
Mr Straw said he had instructed Britain's ambassador in Tel Aviv, Sherard Cowper-Coles, to find out the precise circumstances in which the deaths had occurred.
