Israeli troops kill 16 on activist’s boats

Fighting broke out between the activists and the masked Israeli troops, who rappelled on to deck from helicopters before dawn. A spokeswoman for the flotilla, Greta Berlin, said she had been told ten people had been killed and dozens wounded, accusing Israeli troops of indiscriminately shooting at “unarmed civilians”. But an Israeli radio station said that between 14 and 16 were dead in a continuing operation.

Nice idea but why the fuck did they fight? Two Aussies journo’s are also missing at the moment. No doubt more news will come in the following days.
