Al Jazeera files suit at International Criminal Court over journalist's killing

DUBAI, Dec 6 (Reuters) - Al Jazeera on Tuesday said it has filed a lawsuit at the International Criminal Court against Israeli forces over the killing of Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, who was shot during an Israeli raid in the West Bank in May.

The lawsuit following an investigation by the television news network's legal team, Al Jazeera said on Twitter.

The ICC must identify the individuals who were directly involved Abu Akleh's killing, Al Jazeera lawyer Rodney Dixon KC told a news conference in The Hague on Tuesday.

AJ didn't file a lawsuit and the ICC isn't going to interview anyone or hold a trial. We have reached a point where international "news" organizations lie when it suits their purposes. Pretty messed up.
