Israel's ministry of foreign affairs has updated its account of the clash on its website. The ministry says pistols were found on two activists.

"According to reports from sea, on board the flotilla that was seeking to break the maritime closure on the Gaza Strip, IDF forces apprehended two violent activists holding pistols. The violent activists took these pistols from IDF forces and apparently opened fire on the soldiers as evident by the empty pistol magazines."

I'm just back in from the Glasgow demo. I'd say there were about 750 people, which was pretty good indeed. Hopefully they'll do a proper event during a weekend so that all the other people who couldn't make it can show their support too.
