US tanks now targeting western journalists!

[RichB]

Just seen on Sky News that a US tank has taken a direct pot-shot at the Palestine Hotel where all the western journalists are working. Seems he aimed a shell directly at a room in which 4 x Reuter’s guys were working. The Sky News reporter was petrified, he said the tank commander was about 600 yards away and was scanning the building with binoculars before firing the shell. The US claim there was a sniper in on one of the balconies of the hotel but the Sky chap said that was absolute nonsense, as he had heard no shots at all this morning. He said some very harsh words indeed e.g. "when the US tanks start firing at you it makes you realise how vulnerable you are". I expect his report will be censored (or at least edited) very soon.
