UN secretary-general: No secret deal on Gaza flotilla probe
The UN chief on Monday dismissed rumors that the world body has struck a secret deal making the Israeli military off-limits for a UN probe of Israel's deadly May 31 commando raid on a Gaza-bound flotilla.
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon announced the formation of a four-member panel of inquiry last week into the raid at sea in which Israeli commandos killed nine Turkish pro-Palestinian activists after boarding their vessel, which was attempting to bring aid to the Gaza Strip. (Reuters)
