LONDON (Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Swedish activists have decided to
sue Israeli leaders for their role in ordering the attack on the Freedom
Flotilla aid convoy that was bound to Gaza Strip but was intercepted at
sea by Israeli navy forces late last May.

Dror Feiler, the spokesman for the Swedish ship that was part of the
Flotilla, told the London-based Al-Quds Al-Arabi newspaper on Friday
that he would file a complaint on behalf of 11 Swedes against the
Israeli leaders on 8th November with Tel Aviv police and the Israeli
prosecutor.

He explained that the complaint would be filed against Israeli
premier Benjamin Netanyahu, his war minister Ehud Barak, and his Chief
of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi.

The charges would include armed robbery, kidnap, detention, and assault and battery, Feiler elaborated.

The Israeli navy attack on the Flotilla in international waters killed nine Turkish activists and injured about 30 others.
