journalist killed

This was a Russian journalist, known for her criticism of Putin and his handling of the situation in Chechnya. She was killed by assassins in her apartment. It is hard to believe that this occurred so recently on October 7, 2006 in Moscow. The assassins were believed to be professional and sent by the government. There were 13 other killings of journalists like her since 2000. This was a serious violation of freedom of speech.
