UN retracts claim deadly Israeli strike hit Gaza school   Updated at: 2225 PST, Wednesday, February 04, 2009     JERUSALEM: The United Nations has retracted a claim that an Israeli strike which killed more than 40 people in northern Gaza city of Jabaliya last month hit a school run by a UN agency. "The humanitarian coordinator would like to clarify that the shelling, and all of the fatalities, took place outside rather than inside the school," the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said in its latest weekly update on the situation in Gaza. It stressed that its initial report of the January 6 incident correctly stated that Israeli shells hit outside the school run by the UN agency for Palestinian refugees UNRWA, but that it later referred to "the shelling of the UNRWA school in Jabaliya." The Israeli military initially said its forces had responded to hostile fire from within the UN school but later reportedly retracted that statement. The attack sparked widespread outrage in the midst of Israel's deadly offensive in Gaza.     Send this story to Friend   |   Print Version Share this story!      More Updates  Floods hit UK Lake District; much of Ireland Updated at: 2305 PST  Ghulam Mustafa Jatoi passes away Updated at: 2255 PST  Pak for result-oriented dialogue with Inida: FM Updated at: 2245 PST  Watto says raids on mills caused sugar shortage Updated at: 2240 PST  African women remain undervalued: UN report Updated at: 2220 PST  Military action in FATA was essential to wipe out militancy: President Updated at: 2200 PST  Oil falls towards $76 as dollar gains Updated at: 2150 PST  Ahmadinejad welcomes Brazil's nuclear support Updated at: 2130 PST  Six powers regret Iran's stance on nuclear deal Updated at: 2115 PST  French footballer admits illegal fumbling of the ball Updated at: 2050 PST  School dropout high among Palestinian refugees: UN Updated at: 2050 PST  Tendulkar becomes first batsman to make 30,000 runs Updated at: 2020 PST  Sub-committee formed for Afghan refugees repatriation Updated at: 2015 PST  SBP fines 19 banks for no recovery of loans Updated at: 2000 PST  Rain delays first ODI between SA and England Updated at: 1950 PST  India not serious for talks: FO Updated at: 1935 PST  Sugar import hits $112 mln during July-Oct Updated at: 1920 PST  Mullah Omar not in Pakistan, asserts FO Updated at: 1920 PST  Saudi team named for ACC T20 Cup Updated at: 1900 PST  150 Afghani imams among thousands held in Mardan Updated at: 1900 PST  Punjab Finance Minister meets CM Sindh Updated at: 1850 PST  Saudi health ministry reports 20 swine flu cases among Haj pilgrims Updated at: 1840 PST  Bulls dominate KSE at weekend Updated at: 1830 PST  1st ODI between England and SA today Updated at: 1800 PST  Shiv Sena activists attack Indian TV channel Updated at: 1745 PST  New Afghan policy should not affect regional balance: PM Updated at: 1730 PST  India force a draw after Gambhir, Tendulkar tons Updated at: 1700 PST  Five more terrorists killed in SWA Updated at: 1700 PST  S.Korean supermodel found dead in Paris Updated at: 1645 PST  Nokia says it will cut 330 jobs in Finland, Denmark Updated at: 1630 PST  NZ team named for 2 Tests against Pakistan Updated at: 1610 PST  Britain hit by floods Updated at: 1600 PST  US newspaper claims Mullah Omar is in Karachi Updated at: 1545 PST  India-Sri Lanka Test heads for a draw Updated at: 1530 PST  FC man killed in Khyber Agency blast Updated at: 1530 PST  Petroleum products import drops 37% in July- October Updated at: 1500 PST  Bombings kill 18 in Afghanistan Updated at: 1450 PST  Gunman opens fire on Saipan; 5 dead Updated at: 1410 PST  Gambhir's century keeps India afloat in first Test Updated at: 1400 PST  Suicide bomber kills 13 in Afghanistan Updated at: 1350 PST  Islamabad suicide attacks master mind arrested Updated at: 1325 PST  Indian Maoists derail train, kill two Updated at: 1310 PST  CIA chief in Pakistan on announced visit Updated at: 1250 PST  Foreign hand behind Pakistan’s situation: Hoti Updated at: 1235 PST  Peshawar: blast heard in Punj Khatta Chowk Updated at: 1225 PST  8 militants killed in N Waziristan drone attack Updated at: 1145 PST  Pakistan draw with NZ Invitational XI Updated at: 1130 PST  39 Afghans arrested in Peshawar crackdown Updated at: 1130 PST  7th WTO Ministerial Conference from Nov 30 Updated at: 1120 PST  Suicide bomber kills six in Afghan town Updated at: 1040 PST  3 militants killed in S Waziristan clashes Updated at: 1010 PST  Catastrophic warnings as bushfires flare in Australia Updated at: 1000 PST  Belgian PM named as EU president Updated at: 0940 PST  Section 144 imposed in Peshawar extended Updated at: 0920 PST  New Zealand squad named for Pakistan Tests Updated at: 0910 PST  Chinese defence chief to visit N.Korea Updated at: 0855 PST  Oil prices up in Asian trade Updated at: 0845 PST  UK agencies claim to decode Al Qaeda secret language Updated at: 0700 PST  Two cops killed, 10 injured in City blast: Police Updated at: 0610 PST  PCB chief denies statement about Shoaib Akhtar Updated at: 0520 PST  US: Dr Aafia protests in Court Updated at: 0510 PST  MQM too has right to practice politics in Punjab: Shahbaz Updated at: 0445 PST  Turkish FM to meet Iran leader over nuclear row Updated at: 0250 PST  Karachi: police kill 2 accused in alleged encounter Updated at: 0240 PST  Fauzia for promoting democratic process in GB Updated at: 0210 PST  Afghanistan: 2 coalition troops killed in blasts, clashes Updated at: 0155 PST  Peshawar suicide attack toll mounts to 20 Updated at: 0130 PST  Peshawar: 1 policeman killed, many hurt in bomb attack Updated at: 0120 PST  PCB chief rules out Shoaib Akhtar's return Updated at: 0105 PST Enter your search terms Submit search form   Web www.thenews.com.pk
