Israel Threatens to Shoot Unarmed Civilians aboard Mercy Ship

Freegaza - Israel Threatens to Shoot Unarmed Civilians aboard Mercy Ship
 At roughly 3am UST (1am GMT), in international waters 100 miles off
the coast of Gaza, at least five Israeli gunboats surrounded the SPIRIT
OF HUMANITY and began recklessly cutting in front of the slow-moving
civilian craft. The Israeli warships radioed the SPIRIT, demanding that
the ship turn around or they would open fire and "shoot." When asked if
the Israeli navy was acknowledging that they intended to commit a war
crime by deliberately firing on unarmed civilians, the warships replied
that they were prepared to use "any means" to stop the ship.

BBC NEWS | Science & Environment | Ancient Persians 'gassed Romans' <read me

A UK researcher said he found evidence that the Persian Empire used
poisonous gases on the Roman city of Dura, Eastern Syria, in the 3rd
Century AD.

The theory is based on the discovery of remains of about 20 Roman soldiers found at the base of the city wall.
