Subject: RE: BS: Gaza Strip 28/9 June 2006
The trial of an Israeli soldier accused of needlessly shooting the body of a Palestinian schoolgirl has opened in a military court.
Iman al-Hams was shot close to an Israeli watchtower in the southern Gaza town of Rafah when soldiers suspected her of planting a bomb.

She was then shot several more times by a soldier who approached her in order to "verify the kill".

The unidentified soldier has been charged with five offences.

He was originally cleared of any wrongdoing in the shooting, on 5 October, but charges were later brought after a military police investigation.

The soldier, known as Captain R, faces two counts of illegally using his weapon, as well as charges of obstruction of justice, conduct unbecoming an officer and improper use of authority.
