3:06 pm
problems started after the attack on bin laden, and the fact that one of their doctors was recruited by the c. i. a. to run a fake program and, he is under arrest and, that was enough to arouse suspicions about the activities of save the children and the government said it had no doubt as to why it decided to seal the offices of this charity. for many years there was no policy of accountability, and several engineers were working free and their job jurisdiction was restricted and they were found working in tribal areas enough is enough, we will not tolerate any organization working against the integrity of pack cast tin. they said, that their work

3:08 pm
few months and this might be linked to the detention of a man in too knee she a, who is a senior member. what do you make of these reports of this link that's being made? both governments don't substantiate it. this is about the arrest, a month ago and, one of the leaders and, he is -- his story is, he is not well-known, and you don't find a lot of information about him and many think that he's a intelligence guy, inside the coalition and when he was arrested, a month ago, dozens were relieved, and whatever there are and this is
3:09 pm
the second kidnapping, that seems to be related to the arrest of him and this one is actually linked to a decision, earlier, a for days ago, of the too knee shan court to keep him in tunisia. it's interesting they don't want to say one way or one way or the other, because they are going on to hopefully release these diplomat and they have an interesting position, because it has links with both of the governments in libya, and how strained is it going to be, and is it now, with the government in tripoli, when they seem to couldn't happening? well tunisia hazardous sense of thousands of citizens, in libya. that's why the government has ties in trip policy.

3:11 pm
this will only exacerbate things and, they can in the make the difference between this this militia, and they see only libya, and so, what happened, is going to backfire against libyan's themselves, more than the militia that did the kidnapping. we'll be following this closely. thank you. the families four palestinian boys, killed when israel bombed the beach are outraged that they are closing the investigation. it happened a year ago. two airstrikes struck the boys in error, and the investigation included that no international laws were broken.
