Israelis kill man in wheelchair

 http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/3783521.stm

Yakub died when troops fired at stone-throwing protesters
Three Palestinians - including a wheelchair-bound man crippled in the 1987 intifada - have been shot dead by Israeli troops in separate incidents.

The Israeli army said a 17-year-old died when troops opened fire at a "suspicious-looking" figure at night in Khan Yunis, in the Gaza Strip.

Earlier, troops opened fire to disperse protesters in Kalandia, in the West Bank, killing the man in a wheelchair.

The army said the protesters were throwing stones near an airport.

The man - Arafat Ibrahim Yakub, 31 - suffered fatal head wounds, Palestinian sources said. He had been confined to a wheelchair since being wounded in the first intifada in 1987.

A mentally disturbed man was shot dead by troops on Monday near the West Bank town of Qalqilya, Palestinian sources said. The incident reportedly happened near Israel's separation barrier.

The Palestinian youth killed on Sunday in Khan Yunis, near the Jewish settlement of Neve Dekalim, was named as Mohammed Nabahan.

The army said he had ignored warning shots and calls to stop.

Palestinian radio said Israeli forces also arrested seven people during raids overnight in the Balata refugee camp in the West Bank town of Nablus.


US 'not bound by torture laws'

 http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/3783869.stm


A Pentagon report last year argued that President George W Bush was not bound by laws banning the use of torture, according to the Wall Street Journal.

The document also argued that torturers acting under presidential orders could not be prosecuted, the paper said.

The report was written by military and civilian lawyers for US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.

It came after staff at Guantanamo Bay complained normal interrogation tactics were not eliciting enough information.

The document outlined why restrictions on torture under US laws and international treaties might be overcome by considerations for national security or legal technicalities, the newspaper reported.

Vital intelligence

The draft argued that because nothing was more important than "obtaining intelligence vital to the protection of untold thousands of American citizens" normal strictures on torture might not apply, according to the Journal.

The report contended that the president, as commander-in-chief, has the authority to approve almost any physical or psychological actions during interrogation, including torture, the newspaper reported.

It said it had reviewed a draft dated 6 March, 2003, and had not seen the full final report.

But people familiar with the final text said there were few substantial changes from the draft version, the Wall Street Journal added.

It is not known whether President George W Bush has ever seen the report.

The Bush administration has said it supports the Geneva Conventions and humane treatment for detainees.
