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.

Let the truth come out.
Not many are rooting for Reuters on this thread, hehehe.
85?!?!? I think you're giving them wa-a-a-a-ay too much credit!
CA....
Remember what the mighty Kos said about the victims in those photos?
Thanks for the ping.
OK, he wasn't a member of the "news division" but was he under the office influence of group-think hate? Does Reuters have a toxic work environment?
Buckhead Lives!
Charles Johnson at Little Green Footballs has unleashed an Army of Photo Debunkers and Scrutinizers.
... Footballs of truth bombs raining down on Reuters : )
The most dangerous person on the earth today - A young, educated, effeminate muslim male. This guy fits the profile to a T. We sit idly with a Big Mac in one hand and the remote in the other while they work tirelessly to win whatever it is they think they can win. I think it's just payback for some perceived historic injustice and not much else.

It's crazy, Charles was just on CNN.. he managed to get in a reference to the possibility of that photographer staging the Qana photos..
This is bigger than the faked Beirut photo if true..
Reuters = a photographer's Protocols of The Elders of Zion.
About time somebody did something about this propaganda arm of Hizb'allah.
You have to question anything the Drive-By Media promotes as "the real story."
It's not just the outright fakery & frauds- it's what they leave out, camera angles, lenes, and lighting, even the "journalist's" tone of voice and phrasing.
Of course, I've had it in for the media since the "Daisy" commercial in Goldwater's day.
Run only once- but the "watchdog press" helpfully ran it over & over & over, until even the stupidest American got the message "Crazy Barry will get The Children Nuked..."
It's been going on a long time.
I'm with you.. I believe Reuters is a propaganda machine of Hez'bollah, of Islamists, and others who seek to destroy us..
They've got the dough to do it..
