Doubts Linger About Journalist's Murder
Associated Press Newswires, 5 July 2005, By STEVE GUTTERMAN
MOSCOW (AP) - For nearly a year after American journalist Paul Klebnikov was gunned down on a Moscow street, his killing was like dozens of other high-profile Russian murder cases -- plenty of speculation but no resolution. Then something unusual happened: The government said it was solved. However, strong doubts remain about an investigation that has become a crucial test of President Vladimir Putin's Russia and its justice system -- whether it can dig deeper than political expediency and unearth the truth.

U.S. journalists to investigate the murder of Paul Klebnikov
Russian Press Digest - Russica Izvestia, 15 July 2005, Aleksey Nikolskiy, Kirill Koryukin
A group of U.S. journalists has established a task force to independently investigate the slaying of Paul Klebnikov , the American investigative reporter and editor of the Russian edition of Forbes. The group, Project Klebnikov, said the task force was needed because the chances of a thorough investigation and fair trial in Russia were slim due to police corruption and weak courts. It said in a statement that it would "vigorously" challenge the main theory of Russian prosecutors that Klebnikov was murdered on orders from Chechen gang leader Khozh-Akhmed Nukhayev. Journalists are already gathering information on the "themes and threats" of Klebnikov's work to try to determine whether there were other motives for the murder, the statement said.
