Gaza Flotilla: Does This Video Show Israeli Commandos "Executing" Turkish-American Furkan Dogan?

A video of an incident in the Israeli raid on the Freedom Flotilla is circulating on the Internet. It allegedly shows two Israeli commandos: one is kicking someone lying on the deck while the other is shooting someone at very close range with a Remington 870 shotgun. Turkish sources claim that this clip depicts the 19-year-old American-born Furkan Dogan being executed. The teenager, according to a Turkish autopsy, was shot four times in the head and once in the chest.

Furkan's father, Assistant Professor Ahmet Dogan, said: "My son was a U.S. citizen. That is why we want and expect America to start an investigation regarding my son Furkan's death, to condemn the situation and to help us for Israel's juristically being punished."

Meanwhile, the Turkish-based Foundation for Human Rights and Freedoms and Humanitarian Relief (IHH) stated that new six ships have already been registered for a new convoy to Gaza in mid July.
