Report: Author has new organ theft view

JERUSALEM, Nov. 12 (UPI) -- Journalist Donald Bostrom apparently has second thoughts about his article accusing Israel of battlefield organ theft, sources say.

Bostrom made the charge in an August piece in the Swedish publication Aftonbladet, accusing the Israeli army of harvesting the organs of Palestinians during Operation Cast Lead.

A subsequent and unpopular visit to Israel to speak, however, seems to have cast a new light on the source of his report, Army Radio said Thursday.

While in Israel for the Dimona media conference, Bostrom was interviewed by several Israeli media outlets and heard serious criticism of his article and accounts of IDF organ theft.

Critics say it was quickly revealed that Bostrom's account lacked hard facts and relied on accounts from

bereaved Palestinian families, The Jerusalem Post said.
