WASHINGTON: The family of slain Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh met US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Tuesday to demand justice for the killing of the Al Jazeera reporter during an Israeli raid in the occupied West Bank.
Lina Abu Akleh, Shireen Abu Akleh's niece, posted a video on Twitter from outside the State Department saying that she and other family members"are here to demand justice for Shireen". The State Department said this month that Abu Akleh was likely killed by gunfire from Israeli positions but that it was probably unintentional, citing an investigation by the US Security Coordinator.
"We do understand that sometimes these elements ... run at cross purposes - timeliness and thoroughness - but we want to see an investigation that is both timely, but is also thorough, and that importantly concludes in accountability," Price said when asked if there was a time frame for accountability.
