The BBC apologized on Saturday for broadcasting images of the killing of a terrorist who drove his bulldozer into Jerusalem cars and buses on Wednesday, killing three and wounding dozens. In a statement on its website, the BBC said it was "wrong" to screen the video and that the images "failed to strike "the right editorial balance."
The British broadcaster had received over 100 complaints against the footage, which showed the killer being shot from close range by an off-duty IDF soldier and a police officer.
