Scare as Sarkozy departs Israel
Fantastic farewell. I hope he gets one like that in every city he visits:
Confusion has marred French President Nicolas Sarkozy’s farewell to Israel, after a soldier shot himself dead during an airport departure ceremony.
Mr Sarkozy and his wife, Carla Bruni, were rushed into their plane after the shot. Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert was also hurried to safety.
The incident at Ben-Gurion airport came at the end of Mr Sarkozy’s three-day visit to Israel and the West Bank.
A police spokesman said the security officer had committed suicide.
