Israel using Aussie footage: journalists
Australian footage of a deadly raid on an aid flotilla bound for Gaza has been
confiscated and used by Israel.
Fairfax reporter Paul McGeough and photographer Kate Geraghty were on board the
flotilla during the incident in which nine people died.
The two Australians were taken to an Israeli detention centre, and have since been
freed.
McGeough says footage the pair captured of the incident was seized by Israeli
officials.
"The imagery that was in various cameras is now being edited and put out by the
Israeli Defence Force as their account of the events on the ships," he told ABC
Radio.
McGeough said Fairfax was trying to have the footage and equipment returned.
