Reuters employee issues 'Zionist pig' death threat (to Little Green Footballs 5/29/06)

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.

Ding Ding Ding, we have a winner. Proof there should be no Muslim Council of Britain.

Maybe he was employed by their Military/Jihadist Wing.

No, he was in the Reuters Creative Department.

Hmmmm, remember that LEAK to the NYTimes about how the US tracks 'financial' (banking) there was a specific reason why that leak was so necessary. Just wondering.

Little by little, the mask is coming off the left MSM, reveling the enemy within.

This is from Reuters. Can it be trusted?

Al-Reuters is nailed. Good deal!

And all because of those crafty little Zionists. ;-)

You know who's behind all this anti-Semitism? The Jews! ;') This topic was linked off the older of the two topics on the Reuters photo fakery.

That is an excellent compilation of links, each accompanied by a summarization of its contents. As usual, well done, backhoe.

Have to be. Reuters doesn't have a news division. :')

I thought Britain had a Hate Crime law that should put this guy away for good. Why isn't our FBI out there protecting American citizens from stuff like this?

Flip realized, however, you always have to pay up in the end.
Not sure if you realized it, but Flip used to wear that dress after the show too.

Most Reuters' "journalists" essentially say the same thing every day in their articles. ....albeit in slightly tamer language.
