UK demands Israeli probe into flotilla killings

Britain called on Israel today to mount a “transparent and thorough” investigation into the killing of nine civilians during the storming of an aid flotilla heading for the Gaza Strip.

Foreign Secretary William Hague said 31 British nationals and a further 11 with dual nationality are now known to have been detained following the seizure of the vessels as they attempted to breach the Israeli blockade of the territory.
