This is a new and interesting journalistic approach to achieving the same objective that this man’s allies and colleagues such as Christiane Amanpour, Bob Smietana, Niraj Warikoo, Kari Huus, Lisa Wangsness, Anne Barnard and others have been working toward for years.

The terrorist was shot dead immediately by a senior officer at the site.
The soldier, a 20 year-old man, was evacuated for medical treatment to Shaarei Tzedek hospital in Jerusalem by Magen David Adom (MDA) medics at the scene, and is reportedly in moderate condition.
He has been admitted to the trauma ward and is suffering from deep stab wounds to the upper back and hand and is fully conscious….
