Israel Shootings

From Jerusalem, Laurie Neff reports on the national outrage that has erupted in Israel, following an incident in which a Jordanian soldier opened fire on a tour-group of Israeli school girls visiting the Jordan-Israeli border. Seven of the girls were killed, and eight others wounded. Many Israeli politicians are blaming King Hussein for creating the climate that allowed such an attack by publishing the text of a strong letter of criticism he wrote to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
