Tom Hurndall Dies, mudered by Israeli military sniper
Tom Hurndall, shot by a Israeli sniper in April and ever since in a coma, dies in London.
Tom Hurndall was shot in the head by an Israeli military sniper while in Rafah, Gaza on April 16th, 2003. He was left in a coma. His parents arranged for him to come home to London, and this evening, January 13th, he passed away. Tom was a volunteer with the International Solidarity Movement, and at the time of the shooting was shepherding children out of harms way. Only after months of international pressure was the sniper arrested, just a few weeks ago. Meanwhile, the killers of 400 Palestinians killed in those 8 months, and those who wounded over a thousand more, walk freely to continue the work of occupation and ethnic cleansing.
