ISRAELI MINISTER ADMITS ISRAELI BULLET KILLED JAMES MILLER 
Israeli Deputy Defence Minister, Ze'ev Boim, publicly confirmed today for the first time that the Israeli government was aware that British film-maker, James Miller was killed by an Israeli bullet.
Speaking at Maison Radio France during a visit to Paris, Mr Boim also confirmed that, as in any case concerning the death of a foreign national, civilian or military, the full Israeli Defence Force (IDF) report would be published and made available to the family of James Miller.
Mr Boim was unable to confirm if there would be a criminal investigation into James' death in Gaza.  However, he promised to look into the progress of the report immediately upon his return to Israel and said he would ensure a full and fair investigation of the incident.
Mr Boim was responding to questions put to him by John Miller, elder brother of James Miller.   Mr Miller pointed out to Ze'ev Boim that the entire event, leading up to and after the death of James, had been filmed, and that there were at least three eye-witness accounts, indicating clearly that this was an unlawful killing.
John Miller comments, "I was pleased that the Minister acknowledged the importance of a full investigation into James' death and was heartened by his willingness to cooperate with the family and colleagues of James".
At his death on 2nd May, James Miller was, with colleagues from Frostbite Films, filming a documentary in Gaza on the effects of conflict on children in the area.
An autopsy, carried out at the Israeli Forensic Institute and overseen by an   independent British forensic pathologist, has already shown that James Miller was shot in the neck as he, reporter Saira Shah and translator Abboud Abdullah, were approaching an Israeli Armoured Personnel Carrier, to ask permission to leave the area.
The team was carrying a white flag, illuminated with a torch. All three were wearing helmets marked 'TV".
