Ola interviewed by SVT

I gave my colleague, former Middle East Correspondent Bengt Norborg, Olas telephone number today and the interview with her was the lead story for the Gaza package on the nine o'clock evening news in Sweden:



Ola's qoute "you can smell blood on the streets" was a headline on the SVT website:

And Ola's final qoute on the Arab nations played into the interview with the Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt. Watch the whole package (Ola, Al Jazeeras report translated, a story on the egyptian peace plan, FM Carl Bildt in the studio and then a story on Palestinians in Israel). Flash player required:

Ola, you are very courageous and we are all deeply humbled by your ability to keep your spirit high in the worst conditions imaginable. Our thoughts are with you and your family.
