Mubarak bristles at Israeli massacre film

CAIRO, March 17 (UPI) -- Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak vowed Saturday to bring to justice Israeli soldiers who allegedly massacred 250 prisoners during the Six-Day War in 1967.

The Israeli film "Shaked Spirit" charged that troops from the Israeli Shaked Reconnaissance Unit either shot or buried scores of Egyptian POWs alive at the end of the short war.

In his first public statement on the matter, Mubarak told Akhbar al-Yom he would seek satisfaction should the incident prove to be true.

The elite Shaked unit was under the command of Knesset member Binyamin Ben Eliezer, a Labor Party leader whom a witness said in the film had shot two prisoners personally.
