Topic: Boris Nemtsov, leading Putin critic, shot and killed in Moscow (Read 1747 times)

You are not wrong there. One hint that was slipped by the investigation committee is that they have evidence that the Ukrainian model took an active part in the murder, having a second mobile, which she dumped, and which contained a tracking device. I guess there is much more that was left unsaid.

Well, that story quickly gave up the ghost in the western press.

The most likely reason for the sudden demise of this Putin-slandering opportunity is that the Russians have a link between the assassins and some entities in or near Washington DC. The Russians are way too shrewd to publicize this, they prefer to keep it up their sleeve like an ace for use if the western mob oversteps its limits there in Russia´s back yard.

If that were the case, then what's your reasoning to why he was murdered? And if he were insignificant, why is this news making the rounds?

Nemtsov has long ceased to be a figure of any importance and was hardly noticed in politics.

That's what I was thinking.

I wouldn't mention that Nemtsov was little more than nothing, but take a closer look at yourself before speaking about others.

This is how Russian fixed their problem, with bullet and blood.

A building belonging to the Greek Orthodox Church in Jerusalem was set on fire and vandalized early on Thursday in a hate crime attack.
Firefighters arrived at the scene and extinguished the flames, and classified the fire as arson after an investigation into whether the fire was deliberately set. The forces also found hate graffiti denigrating Jesus sprayed on one of the walls.

Damage was done to parts of the building, but no one was hurt.
The structure, which is used as for religious studies, is located near the Old City's Jaffa Gate.
A mosque in a West Bank village near Bethlehem was torched warly on Wednesday, Palestinain media reported. The report said that settlers that entered Kafr Jab'a also sprayed hate graffiti on the building, including "we want the redemption of Zion," and "revenge."

Senior Palestinian official Saeb Erekat said in a statement that both Wednesday and Thursday's attacks were the works of "Israeli terrorists ... protected by a government that claims exclusivity over this land."

Israeli Arab MK Ahmed Tibi echoed Erekat's comments, calling the price tag attacks "terrorism in all respects" and decrying how "criminals still roam freely without any deterrence or punishment."
"If you can kill a Palestinian or cut down an olive tree without penalty," Tibi added, "then you can burn mosques and churches without fear."

A top political nemesis of President Vladimir Putin was shot and killed early Saturday in central Moscow, Russian police said, one day before an opposition rally was scheduled to take place.

Boris Nemtsov, 55, a former deputy prime minister, was shot four times from a passing car as he was walking on a bridge just outside the Kremlin. Interior Ministry spokeswoman Yelena Alexeyeva told reporters on the scene that Nemtsov was walking with a female acquaintance, a Ukrainian citizen, when a vehicle drove up and unidentified assailants shot him dead. The woman wasn't hurt.

Putin, who quickly offered his condolences and called the murder a provocation, ordered Russia's top law enforcement chiefs to personally oversee the probe of Nemtsov's killing.

But the shooting potentially could create a political crisis in Russia, regardless of the motive or who was behind the shooting.
