Israel youth club could close

Two years after it was the subject of a deadly gun attack, a GLBT youth club in Israel is in danger of closing.

The Bar Noar club in Tel Aviv was attacked by a masked gunman on August 1 in 2009 who shot dead Nir Katz, 24 and Liz Trubeshi, 17.

Fifteen others were wounded in the attack, which remains unsolved, although Israeli police say they are continuing to question suspects.

Since the attack the club has had to pay for an armed security guard out of its own funds, but is yet to receive any funding from the municipality of Tel Aviv or government ministries for the year 2011.
