Wonder if these killers were also pissed about “the video”.
Environmentalist wackos?
Not a robbery gone bad. Hence a hate crime.
I bet the Russians did it.
Scary stuff, especially when the government there covers it up for almost 2 weeks. Why? It was a PUBLIC assassination.
Time to google “Baader Meinhoff” and “Red Brigades” from the 1960s and 1970s.
Red Army Faction comes up on wiki.

OWS, Weather Underground, etc.
With “austerity” in the air in Europe, I can see rising sentiment for total revolution, by the takers.
What better target than an executive of an evil multinational oil concern?
This gives more credibility that the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico was no accident but planned.
BATFE has served warrants in the case in Florida.
The two countries are working together on curbing illegal firearms.
Now, what does all that mean??
Odd about the wife. He was shot but she was beaten? The perps got that close to them? Was it a close-range shooting? (we don’t know because of the gag order, I realize)
This sounds like the kind of hit that could be only pulled off by a corporation or a government. They needed to know where he ate, at when, and what he looked like.
He was killed with two shots to the head, which is almost textbook for a hit, and the two guys used a motorcycle to escape, which is the preferred vehicle for that sort of thing.
This post will drift from topic a little, but I found this interesting...
I recalled that some of the papers that were missing from the consulate? annex? contained the names of people working with us and some oil contracts or something oil related.
Anyhow, I started searching this man in relation to Libya and I stumbled upon this article and found it interesting, even if it isn’t connected to this story.

Leaked Gaddafi-era documents expose the need for urgent oil reforms

When asked to comment, long-time Libyan anti-corruption activist Abdelhamid El Jadi said that these documents reinforced his own findings into Gaddafi’s extensive history of mismanagement of the oil sector and his knowledge of shoddy practices within the NOC. El Jadi also praised one of the Report’s contributors, Najwa El Beshti, a former head of oil contracts at the NOC, who faced an assassination attempt and numerous threats as a result of her work to report mismanagement in the sector.
“Beyond the need for reforms of Libya’s oil sector, it is hard to think of a more obvious contemporary example than Libya to demonstrate the need for new international standards of transparency and accountability for the extractive industries,” said Carini. “Unfortunately the international push to require such transparency, both through the Dodd-Frank Act in the United States and a parallel effort currently being formulated in Europe, is being seriously undermined through the actions of the international oil industry, which appears keen to sustain an opaque environment within which to operate,” he concluded.
