When traveling with the prime minister, however, the armored United Nations car proved to be too small to hold everyone, and Kaplan was moved to a "soft-skinned" (unarmored) van of another television crew. Because Kaplan had no flak jacket, he was seated between two journalists who did. A few minutes later, a bullet was fired through the tailgate of the van, between the taped letters "T" and "V".
