Brian Williams’ account of Israel trip in question

The New York Post reports:

Another of Brian Williams’ wild reporting tales is being called into question – this time it’s an account of his trip to Israel in 2006.

In a 2007 interview, Williams recalled riding on an Israeli military helicopter that was flying just above rockets fired by Hezbollah as they were passing over northern Israel, according to The Washington Post.

“There were Katyusha rockets passing just underneath the helicopter I was riding in,” he told Fairfield University student reporter Emily Fitzmaurice.

But he never disclosed that close brush with Hezbollah fire in an NBC News blog post he penned in July 2006.
