The Chronicle of a death foretold  <\/strong><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

"April 6 2003. I have been shot at, gassed, chased by soldiers, had sound grenades thrown within metres of me, been hit by falling debris and been in the way of a 10-tonne D-9 that didn’t stop. As we approached, I kept expecting a part of my body to be hit by an ‘invisible’ force and shot of pain. It took a huge amoung of will to continue. I wondered what it would be like to be shot, and strangely I wasn’t too scared. It is strange to know that each night people are shot and killed for breaking military curfew, and in the darkness on the north west side there is an Israeli settlement and a few hundred metres away with military snipers in between and any one of the four of us could be being watched through a sniper’s sights at this moment. The certainty is that they are watching, and it is in the decision of any one Israeli soldier or settler that my life depends. I know that I’d probably never know what hit me, but it’s part of the job to be as visible as possible."  – <\/em>Five days after he wrote these words, Tom Hurndall was shot by Israeli forces and later died.  <\/span><\/font><\/p>\n
