"AP’s bureau has been in this building for 15 years. We have had no indication Hamas was in the building or active in the building"

The Israeli government says the building contained Hamas military intelligence assets. We have called on the Israeli government to put forward the evidence. AP’s bureau has been in this building for 15 years. We have had no indication Hamas was in the building or active in the building. This is something we actively check to the best of our ability. We would never knowingly put our journalists at risk.

Counterpoint: AP knew Hamas was in there. News Orgs making deals with Hamas to report the news. -- (link) - budice May 15, 20:02 3
- That thread started with "Notice not one of these outraged responses actually disputes Hamas was using the building". Well now AP *HAS* -- nm - ty97 May 15, 20:07 2

    - they've hit several hi rises, maybe they are just bombing all the nice stuff, or sites they can look from with telescopes -- nm - zeitgeist May 15, 22:46

The world will know less about what is happening in Gaza because of what transpired today. -- nm - budice May 15, 19:55 1
- It'll be more like when we (and Norway, not least) bombed Libya early 2011, then, because I can't remember seeing any reporting from the ground, then. - ore-o May 16, 10:22
