Contrary to this we have confirmation from the BBC that that footage is 
not genuine and CNN have used deception.

> At the BBC here, we have these footages on videotapes recorded in
> 1991, with the very same images. But now, think for a moment about
> the impact of such images. Your people are  hurt, emotionally

> causing waves of anger and rage against the Palestinians.

> It's simply irresponsible to show images such as those.
