Murder threats to Russian journalists

Russia's Novaya Gazeta has announced that a columnist and an editor at the newspaper have received death threats over their probe into the murder of their late colleague, Anna Politkovskaya. In a website statement, the paper says: "On November 24, two employees at Novaya Gazeta were threatened with murder." The editor-in-chief, Dmitry Muratov, said the threats arrived by e-mail and two text messages. Politkovskaya, known for her criticism of the Kremlin's policy in Chechnya, was gunned down in her Moscow apartment block on October 7. (Via Novosti)
