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.

I have access. I'm new here but post on LGF. I was there when the "Reuters" threat threads were up.
Correct. He was an employee of Reuters' Jihad division, working in the "Kill all the infidels" department.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but that's just not going to work. First off, you can change the MAC address using software that's probably on your computer right now (within the network drivers). But you won't need to: You see, if there's a bridge or router between the source and destination, then the source MAC address is gone, and the destination MAC address no longer matters. Wiped away. The IP protocol couldn't care less about the MAC address. In fact, even if it knew what it was, it wouldn't know what to do with it. The MAC address is only useful in identifing a network interface on a local network.

Are you threatening me?! Bring me TP!! I need TP for my Bunglawala!!
maybe you should get your facts straight, bub. I wasnt defending the picture, but I wasnt going to look at ONE picture without looking at the original before I start foaming at the mouth and screaming like chicken little that the world is all against us.
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!!!
Not exactly sure what your babbling about...maybe you should start breaking the prozacs in half.
Just what kind of dog do you have in this fight?
yeah...you got me tinfoiler...im secretly a hezbo fan. You caught me.....good job Matlock
I didn't think it was possible but you've outdone yourself ... again.
My, my.... It would appear that the "heads" over at Reuters are working overtime this weekend.
As well they should!
"Gotcha!" is right, but some how I get the unsettling feeling--when taking into consideration the dimension and depth of international Islamofascism--we are going to have at least 100 more years of this globally, and while this may be one small victory, it is essentially going to be like endlessy swatting mosquitoes at a family picnic.
The Dept. of International Jihad.
I did not write that, but I appreciate the further info.
The bomb-throwing jihadists @ Reuters have taken a break from photoshopping and are issuing email death threats to us dhimmis.
these peaceful people really love their throat cutting.

Reuters admits altering Beirut photo
[Excerpt]
Reuters withdraws photograph of Beirut after Air Force attack after US blogs, photographers point out 'blatant evidence of manipulation.' Reuters' head of PR says in response, 'Reuters has suspended photographer until investigations are completed into changes made to photograph.' Photographer who sent altered image is same Reuters photographer behind many of images from Qana, which have also been subject of suspicions for being staged.

A Reuters photograph of smoke rising from buildings in Beirut has been withdrawn after coming under attack by American web logs. The blogs accused Reuters of distorting the photograph to include more smoke and damage.
The photograph showed two very heavy plumes of black smoke billowing from buildings in Beirut after an Air Force attack on the Lebanese capital. Reuters has since withdrawn the photograph from its website, along a message admitting that the image was distorted, and an apology to editors.

Reuters withdraws doctored image
In the message, Reuters said that "photo editing software was improperly used on this image. A corrected version will immediately follow this advisory. We are sorry for any inconvience."
Reuters' head of PR Moira Whittle said in response: "Reuters has suspended a photographer until investigations are completed into changes made to a photograph showing smoke billowing from buildings following an air strike on Beirut. Reuters takes such matters extremely seriously as it is strictly against company editorial policy to alter pictures."
"As soon as the allegation came to light, the photograph, filed on Saturday 5 August, was removed from the file and a replacement, showing the same scene, was sent. The explanation for the removal was the improper use of photo-editing software," she added.
Earlier, Charles Johnson, of the Little Green Footballs blog , which has exposed a previous attempt at fraud by a major American news corporation, wrote : "This Reuters photograph shows blatant evidence of manipulation. Notice the repeating patterns in the smoke; this is almost certainly caused by using the Photoshop “clone” tool to add more smoke to the image."
