A military correspondent for Russia's top business daily has died after falling out of a window, and some media alleged Monday that he might have been killed for his critical reporting.
Ivan Safronov, the military affairs writer for Kommersant, died Friday after falling from a fifth-story window in the stairwell of his apartment building in Moscow, officials said. His body was found by neighbors shortly after the fall.
With prosecutors investigating the death, Kommersant and some other media suggested foul play.

2 Blondes at the top of the Empire State Building
Blonde 1 - If I jumped from here how long do you think it would be until I reached the bottom.
Blonde 2 - This high? It would take 2 weeks.
Blonde 1 - Do you think I would die?
Blonde 2 - 2 Weeks without food or water? There's no way you could survive!
I would suspect the Chinese before the KGB ... the clintons didn't get to sell out as much of this country's secrets to the Russians so the Russians wouldn't be as interested in the fortunes of Mrs. Bill Clinton or the bent one. I actually think the Russians find bill to be a disgusting persona and the democrats' fawning over him to be cult of the personality worship. KGB knew how weak he was, how void of character and prone to reckless use of military assets for cover of his fecklessness.
This is getting nuts. If it walks like a duck...
Fvee geev leetle help, da? Juz leetle puzh ....
From an old Peter Lorre movie:
How did he die?
"He fell on my knifffe... 23 times he fell on my knife. He kept getting up... and falling on eeet again."
I wouldn't put anything past Mrs. Bill Clinton. Mrs. Bill Clinton and Mr. Putin are Birds of a feather when it comes down to it. Hopefully, they won't be working buddies starting in 2009.
there are a few threads here on that already
another note - saw on the news last night that another guy besides that one that was also on that Dateline show died right before the show aired - of an apparent heart attack
Thank you Mr. Putin for not torturing him.
I wonder what Comrade Livingstone is doing these days?

You have to wonder what will be the demise of the Clinton duo when the USSR and the ChiComs are finished with them?
droppin' like flies...
Another one of Putin's greatest hits.
Chechen Experience Comes in Handy for Lebanon - Oct. 05, 2006 - Mikhail Zygar, Ivan Safronov, Musa Muradov - The idea to send Chechen servicemen to Lebanon first appeared during the talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and official delegations from Lebanon and Saudi Arabia, who offered to Moscow to involve Russian Muslim soldiers to post-war reconciliation in the region. Then, Chechen Prime Minister Ramzan Kadyrov said that Chechen soldiers are ready to go to Lebanon at the first call of Russian authorities.
Airmailed!!
It's not the fall, it's the sudden stop. ;)
"Suppose someone whose motives we don't trust is running an op to make Russia look bad? Chavez, Castro, Kim il Jong, Steve Harper (just kidding)?
Bullseye!
Except the one you name are not the ones who want to see Mother Russia hurt.
I'm amazed most people refuse to get it.
That's three now, isn't it?
