Israel Urges UN to Shelve Flotilla Raid Probe Plan
(Reuters) Louis Charbonneau - Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak on Monday urged UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to shelve plans for a UN-backed investigation of the Gaza flotilla raid last month. Barak said the five-person panel Israel has established, which includes two foreign observers, would be sufficient. "We are moving ahead with our independent investigation, which we believe is clearly independent, reliable, credible and should be allowed to work," he said.
