ISRAELI MISSILES SILENCE BABY'S LAUGHTER IN GAZA
By Sami Abu Salem, Live from Palestine, 28 February 2008

The innocent laughter of six-month-old baby Mohammed
al-Bor'i stopped forever on Wednesday night when shrapnel
from an Israeli missile and rubble struck the infant in
the head, minutes after he enjoyed his last meal. "The
baby sucked milk, he was playing with his mother; I was
reading a book when a rocket hit the Ministry of
Interior," said Nasser al-Bor'i, the baby's father. Sami
Abu Salem reports from Gaza.
