UN Observer Post Used By Hezballah

Found this one over at Little Green Footballs. It's an interview from CBC radio with Retired Canadian Major General Lewis Mackenzie. Mackenzie evidentally receive an email from one of the UN peacekeepers killed at the UN post that was bombed by the Israelis earlier today. According to the General, the peacekeeper was saying that Hezbollah was taking up position around the UN observation post in an attempt to use the post as a human shield.

"We received emails from him a few days ago, and he was describing the fact that he was taking fire within, in one case, three meters of his position for tactical necessity, not being targeted. Now that's veiled speech in the military. What he was telling us was Hezbollah soldiers were all over his position and the IDF were targeting them. And that's a favorite trick by people who don't have representation in the UN. They use the UN as shields knowing that they can't be punished for it."

I wonder if this will be included in the UN investigation into this incident.
