Parents of Tristan Anderson Call for Israel to Take Responsibility for Shooting
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------



In other news from the region, the parents of the American peace
activist Tristan Anderson flew to Israel yesterday to see their son, who
remains in critical condition in a medically induced coma. Israeli
troops shot Anderson in the head with a high-velocity tear gas canister.
Tristan’s mother, Nancy Anderson, said, “We are scared and really still
in shock. To shoot peaceful demonstrators is really horrifying to us.
What we want to ask is that the Israeli government publicly take full
responsibility for the shooting of our son.” The words of Nancy
Anderson.
