Images of an Execution

The killing of Mohammed Salah by Israeli police on 8 March 2002
The following material relates to the extrajudicial killing of Palestinian Mahmoud Salah by a Israeli Border Police unit, on Friday 8 March 2002, in Beit Hanina, Jerusalem.

Included, images of the execution with the article and original captions as published in today's Al-Hayat Al-Jadeeda (Palestine), two wire service reports from Agence France Presse, and other articles.

Together -- through visual evidence and eyewitness interviews, juxtaposed next to a record of official statements made by Israeli police spokesmen -- a picture emerges that clearly contradicts the Israeli version of events.

Please note. It is unclear whether the images are still photographs or screen captures from a video. In either case, the answer lies with Agence France Press who distributed the still images via its wires.
