Rachel Corrie: Court rules Israel not at fault for death
An Israeli court has ruled that the state of Israel was not at fault for the death of US activist Rachel Corrie, who was killed in the Gaza Strip by an Israeli army bulldozer in 2003.
Ms Corrie's family had brought a civil claim for negligence against the Israeli ministry of defence.
The judge said the 23-year-old's death was a "regrettable accident" and that the state was not responsible.
She had been trying to stop Palestinian homes being pulled down in Gaza.
The BBC's Jeremy Bowen reports from Jerusalem.
