Russian Journalists Murdered in Africa May Have Been Set Up thebea.st/2OUnEfb?source… Published yesterday and probably overlooked, too, because of the magnetic draw of the White House Follies. It's really worth reading. @csdickey
Three Russian journalists--Orkhan Dzhemal, 51, filmmaker Alexander Rastorguyev, 47, and cameraman Kirill Radchenko, 33--were killed while trying to make a documentary about Russian mercenaries in CAR and their relationship to "Putin’s chef." They died trying to get the story.
Russia claims they were the victims of a highway robbery. Private investigators say the account doesn't stand up to scrutiny.
A victim' colleague: "I am convinced that assassins fulfilled an order from Moscow for liquidation of three independent journalists who were digging out Putin’s secrets—it must have been more convenient to kill them in Africa.”
I hate to think that they died trying to do this, but the story couldn't penetrate the attention barrier.
