Corrie family to Sue "Israel"

Rachel Corrie was run over 7 years ago by an "Israeli" bulldozer during a demonstration in Rafah in Gaza.

Cindy and Craig Corrie of Olympia, Washington, say they have four key witnesses, three Britons and an American, who saw Rachel crushed underneath a Caterpillar bulldozer in Rafah in 2003.

The family's lawyer, Hussein Abu Hussein, declared that "Israel" "should take responsibility for the death of Rachel Corrie," AFP reported.

"We believe her killing was done intentionally or at least out of negligence and wrongdoing," he added.

The four activists who witnessed the incident were granted permission to enter "Israel" and testify in court at a hearing to be held on March10th, whereas the Palestinian doctor who treated Corrie before her death was denied permission to leave the Gaza Strip to attend the hearing.

Corrie wrote about her experiences in the Palestinian territories while she was alive. Her diaries have been published as a play.
