A Reuters employee has been suspended after sending a death threat to an American blogger.
The message, sent from a Reuters internet account, read: "I look forward to the day when you pigs get your throats cut."
It was sent to Charles Johnson, owner of the Little Green Footballs (LGF) weblog, a popular site which often backs Israel and highlights jihadist terrorist activities.
In the threat, the Reuters staff member, who has not been named, left his email address as "zionistpig" at hotmail.com.
Reporting the message to his readers, Johnson wrote on his website: "This particular death threat is a bit different from the run of the mill hate mail we get around here, because an IP lookup on the sender reveals that he/she/it was using an account at none other than Reuters News."
After bringing the threat to the attention of Reuters, Johnson was told by the news organization's Global Head of Communications, Ed
Williams: "I can confirm that an employee has been suspended pending further investigation. The individual was not an employee of Reuters' news division."
In an additional twist, Johnson traced the movements of the sender of the threat, and found direct parallels between the internet locations of the sender and Inayat Bunglawala, Media Secretary of the Muslim Council of Britain.
Bunglawala, who contirbuted an editorial to the Guardian website, has attracted negative attention in the past after making anti-Semitic outbursts, and has declared that the British media was "Zionist-controlled."
In the comment section of the Guardian, underneath his own editorial, Bunglawala denied sending the threat, blaming "Zionists" instead.
"That was not me! Methinks some Zionists are up to mischief," he wrote.

You just gotta love it when people who are ignorant of networking use computers for unsavory purposes. What this scum did is like putting his return address on a threatening letter before mailing it out lol.
backhoe, just excellent work. Thank you, I'd like to send this out to my email list if OK with you.
What Inayat Bunghole and alReuters don't understand is that now, at 15 people who don't use the internet for news but like to receive my emails about unreported and underreported stories, have been alerted to the photo fakery, the alReuters retraction and Bungholes impotent death threat.
And those 15 people will email or tell the stories to their relatives and friends who will email and tell others.....and round and round we go. The real story spreads. Unlike the lies of alReuters, the driveby media and Bunghole.
And I'm overjoyed to do send this stuff out. Thanks again backhoe.
Possibly the Muslim Council of Britain, according to the report. It may have been their "Media Secretary" who sent the e-mail.

Appreciate the kind words- see #106 for a link to the latest info.
Has any of this been reported?? Someone should call Fox News and tell them that a Rueters photographers calls non-Muslims pigs and said they would get their throats slit.
I think they are dead serious. They DO kill infidels and they ARE trying to take over the entire world. They'll get around to Charles Johnson sooner or later =o)

Why is a 2 month story in Breaking News? It is NOT breaking if it is 2 months old. Yes, the altered picture is fresh news, this isn't.
If a muslim terrorist were threatening your life over revealing a faked photo...I wonder would your attitude be the same? Somehow I doubt it!!!
No muslim terrorist threatened anyone over this photo yet. The threats were 2 months ago over something else. Why confuse the facts? There is plenty of true nasty stuff the muslims are doing now that we can discuss with attempting to make old stuff new.
Just what kind of dog do you have in this fight?
What dog do I have in this? Ummmmm, can I use John Kerry's poodle??? [grin]
Why are you so sensitive about it?
Why are you so sensitive about it?
Because in post #99 someone is claiming that the muslims made a death threat because this photo was proven to be fake. THAT IS FALSE!
I thought FR stood for rooting out the truth, not lies.
bump
I understood that it was, however; that is no excuse for misunderstanding.
Fox is talking about the doctored photo at the moment.
Its either that or a DNS attack by Muslims... but if that photo was the best they had they probably don't know how to do a DNS attack.
