AN ARAB BOY.
GERMAN ALLEGATIONS
(British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, April 14
Allegations have appeared in the German Press that an Arab boy was abducted and murdered in Lvdda by British soldiers. Inquiries show that the only incident in which an Arab boy had been concerned took place on April 22 during a military search, when an Arab boy drew a pistol and tried to fire at the troops.
The pistol misfired and the hoy ran away, but was wounded and captured. Subsequently he told the soldiers who caught him that he fired on the instructions of a certain Fakhri Maraka, a notorious terrorist, who accordingly has been arrested.
