ISRAEL- The French President Nicolas Sarkozy received a different kind of goodbye as he was about to leave Israel- a possible suicide by a policeman.
After a gunshot was heard at the tarmac of the airport, President Sarkozy and his wife Carla Bruni were rushed off into their airplane by security guards. Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and President Shimon Peres were also quickly escorted out of the area.
The Israeli leaders were saying goodbye to the French President on his plane, when the shot was fired. At least two female soldiers fainted when they heard the shot.
Investigation are still under way, according to Israeli officials. However, the local media speculated that it was actually a suicide by a policeman who was 200 yards away from Sarkozy.
At least two Israeli soldiers suffered minor injuries in this incident.
