Probe into Russian journalist's death

Russian investigators are re-examining the death of Yury Shchekochikhin, a liberal state duma deputy and Novaya Gazeta journalist who died under mysterious circumstances in 2003. The decision follows lobbying by the paper's editor, Dmitry Muratov, who believes the death "raises a lot of questions." Shchekochikhin died two weeks after falling ill in June 2003 in a case that stumped doctors. It is now thought he was poisoned. (Via Moscow Times)
