Bushnell, 25, died on Sunday after setting himself ablaze in front of the Israeli embassy in Washington in an “extreme act of protest” against the Israeli regime and the US government.
One of his friends told the New York Post on Tuesday that Bushnell had told him he had “top-secret clearance’’ for military intelligence data indicating that US troops were operating in tunnels under Gaza.
“He told me on Saturday that we have troops in those tunnels, that it’s US soldiers participating in the killings,’’ friend told the Post.
“His actual job involves the processing of intelligence data. Some of what he was processing had to do with the Israeli Gaza conflict.”
Bushnell said, according to his friend, that the intelligence that came into his possession showed “the US military was involved in the genocides going on in Palestine".
"He told me that we had troops on the ground, you know, that were there and were killing large numbers of Palestinians," the friend stressed.
