Fez- Amid the ongoing Israeli shilling on Gaza, some Israeli newspapers dedicated some lines in their July 21 issue to the Moroccan waiter who was gunned down on the same day of 1973 by the Israeli secret service.
Several Israeli newspapers retold the story of Morocco’s Ahmed Bouchiki in their “Today in History” section on Monday.
On July 21, 1973, Israeli agents in Lillehammer, Norway, killed Ahmed Bouchikhi, a Moroccan waiter, in a case of mistaken identity.
Israeli agents allegedly thought they were killing Ali Hassan Salame, a Palestinian official with Black September, the group that attacked Israel’s delegation at the 1972 Munich Olympics and killed 11 athletes.
On the evening of July 21, a team of Israeli agents shot dead the Moroccan waiter as he walked home from the cinema with his pregnant wife at the resort city of Lillehammer, 110 miles north of Oslo.
Ahmed Bouchikhi, had been living in Lillehammer for nine years and his wife, Torill Larsen, a local woman, was expecting their child. Bouchiki’s murder caused a diplomatic crisis between Norway and Israel. The Norwegian government considered this case more than a murder case, stressing that it was a violation of Norwegian sovereignty.
In January 1996, Israel paid undisclosed compensation to Bouchikhi's family, but did not admit responsibility for the killing.
An article from the New York Times archives was quoted as saying that Israel “will not take responsibility, because Israel is not a killing organization." Norway closed the case in 1999, saying it would be impossible to get a conviction.
