Web Only: UN investigation finds execution style killings of activists on Gaza aid ship

(extended version)

On Wednesday the UN Human Rights Council endorsed a report which found that Israeli commandos killed six passengers execution style on the Mavi Marmara aid flotilla last May. One of them, 19-year-old Turkish American Furgan Dogan, was shot five times, once in the face. At the time of the attack, he was filming with a video recorder. The report is based on a UN fact-finding mission that began in June...

The US was the only country to vote against the endorsement of the report, calling it “unbalanced.” Israel has called it "biased" and "distorted." Investigators also said they found enough evidence to move forward on a prosecution.

For more on the details, we're joined by Gareth Porter, investigative journalist and historian specializing in US security policies. He has reported on the findings of the investigation.
