100 complaints over TV killing
THE BBC News at Ten sparked almost 100 complaints after showing footage on Wednesday of a Palestinian man being shot dead after running amok with a bulldozer in Jerusalem.
The construction worker killed three people and injured at least 45 others when he crushed cars and overturned buses on a busy street on Wednesday.
The programme warned viewers: "We did film the moment when the attacker was shot dead." Two men were seen to climb on board the bulldozer, before an off-duty soldier in a blue T-shirt shot the driver from close range. The BBC received 61 complaints, and TV watchdog Ofcom a further 32.
