The news re. the UN peacekeeping thing is very confusing -- one site says it
was bombed, another says it was "caught in crossfire" which to me implies
guns of some sort rather than missiles, one reports that the UN was in contact
with Israel 10 times prior to the strike and Israel reassured them over an
over that they were not going to be in harm's way, another says Israel had no
idea the building was housing UN personnel..... is there truth out there
anywhere?

With the Israeli bombing of a United Nations camp and
the killing of four UN peacekeepers, we really do seem
to be in a "deja vu all over again" phase. Already UN
Secretary General Kofi Annan is under attack for
condemning the "apparently deliberate targeting by
Israel Defense Forces [IDF] of a UN observer post".
It is reminiscent of the trouble his predecessor
Boutros Boutros-Ghali got himself into last time the
Israelis tried shock and awe on Lebanon in 1996, when
he failed to suppress a report that said pretty much
the same thing about the IDF shelling of the UN post
in Qana, which killed some 106 Lebanese civilians.
