Israel approves flotilla attack probe
The Israeli cabinet today gave final approval for an official investigation into the navy’s attack on a Gaza-bound aid flotilla two weeks ago, with the North's former first minister David Trimble one of two international participants.
The inquiry will be headed by retired Israeli Supreme Court justice Yaakov Tirkel and will include two high-ranking foreign observers: Nobel Peace laureate Mr Trimble and Canada’s former chief military prosecutor, Ken Watkin.
