Former Defense Minister Ariel Sharon has been put in charge of special projects for the Likud election campaign, it was announced today. The announcement came only a day after a group of parents whose sons were killed in the Lebanon war, demanded that Sharon remove himself from the Likud election list.
The Bereaved Parents Association is asking for a special inquiry into two incidents in the Lebanese war. They contend that Sharon was directly responsible for orders which led to the deaths of 40 soldiers.
