June 26 - Jet Ski Shooting Incident Hits International Press
The shooting incident involving a jet ski that was chased by the Guardia Civil in Gibraltar’s territorial waters has been widely covered by the international media. Major UK newspapers and media organisations like the BBC, The Telegraph, The Times and The Sun have featured articles on the shooting, as have ex-pat publications like The Olive Press and even Australia’s Herald Sun and the Irish Independent.
The articles focus on David Lidington’s protests and include quotes from the pilot of the jet ski.
The BBC reported that the Spanish Foreign Ministry told the BBC that no shots had been fired and that it was “disappointed” that the British Government had interpreted rumours as if they were established facts.
Perhaps the most detailed report comes from the Daily Mail which includes video footage and a map showing the route of the chase as it developed near the North Mole.
