Israeli Army soldiers pardoned for burying woman alive
June 28 2003

A military prosecutor has exonerated Israeli soldiers of the death in March
of an American peace activist, the army said on Thursday, refuting witness
claims that the woman was in the line of sight of a bulldozer driver who
buried her alive in the Gaza Strip.

Rachel Corrie, 23, of Washington, was crushed to death on March 16 while
trying to block the demolition of a doctor's house in the Rafah refugee camp
by standing in front of the army bulldozer. The army said the home was being
destroyed in an effort to block arms smuggling.

According to the army, military police investigating the Corrie case found
the soldiers operating the bulldozer were unaware of her presence in the
area and had no intention of harming her.

The International Solidarity Movement said it was not surprised by the
army's findings. "Their only concern is to protect their people and not
arrive at the truth," it said.
