On this day in 2004: British student Tom Hurndall dies from his wounds after being shot directly in the head by an Israeli sniper for attempting to carry Palestinian children out of the line of fire

Hurndall was unarmed and wearing the internationally recognized peaceworker’s fluorescent orange jacket. He was struck down on 11 April 2003 and never regained consciousness. He died nine months later at a London hospital on 13 January 2004.

The sniper who pulled the trigger, an award-winning marksman whose rifle had telescopic sight, admitted that a policy of shooting at unarmed civilians existed at the time.
