British journalists have uncovered new evidence that Israeli soldiers may have killed a British cameraman in the occupied territories, Al Jazeera reported.

The Arabic television network cited John Sweeney, whose documentary 'When Killing is Easy' was shown on the BBC on Sunday. The documentary said a serving Israeli soldier had no doubt Miller's death was "murder" after watching the videotape. James Miller, 34, was killed in Rafah while making a documentary for an American cable channel. The report said an autopsy confirmed he was "almost certainly killed by an Israeli soldier, despite the army's assertions to the contrary."

Al Jazeera also revealed new video evidence that it said showed Miller and his team were carrying white flags and shouting to Israeli soldiers that they were British journalists.

After Miller's shooting Israeli Defense Forces said he was caught in crossfire, even though the video evidence clearly shows this was not the case. Miller's family is pressing for a criminal investigation, and the British government has backed their call, the report said.UPI
