Mazuz asks U.K. for probe material on death of journalist shot by IDF
By Haaretz Staff

Attoney General Menachem Mazuz on Tuesday requested Britain for its investigative material on the death of James Miller, a British journalist shot dead by the Israel Defense Forces troops in the southern Gaza Strip four years ago.

Mazuz's request came two days before the date by which Britain had asked for a response on a request to reopen the case.

Earlier this year, Mazuz had been urged by his former British counterpart, Lord Peter Goldsmith, to consider new expert analysis of a tape recording detailing James Miller's death in Rafah.

Goldsmith gave Israel six weeks to reply to the request. He said the new findings contradicted the Israeli expert's opinion, which had formed the basis for the Chief Military Advocate General's decision to recommend against prosecuting troops responsible for the incident.
