Four UN Observers Killed in Airstrike
[Ha'aretz] Yuval Azoulay and Amos Harel - Four UN observers from Austria, Canada, China, and Finland were killed on Tuesday in an Israel Air Force strike in southern Lebanon. Israel said on Wednesday that it regrets the "tragic" deaths of the observers and would thoroughly investigate the incident. UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan called for an inquiry into what he called Israel's "apparently deliberate targeting" of the UN observer force. Dan Ayalon, Israel's Ambassador to Washington, demanded that Annan apologize for the remarks, which he called "baseless."
