RUSSIA SIGNS MAJOR ARMS DEALS WITH IRAN, SYRIA
Russia's leading business daily Kommersant asserted that a reporter who had been investigating Moscow's defense exports to Iran and Syria was killed. Kommersant said the reporter, former Col. Ivan Safronov, who fell from his apartment window to his death, disclosed the Russian sale of advanced Su-30 fighter-jets to Syria and S-300PMU-1 anti-aircraft systems to Iran.
"From what we know already it is clear it was not suicide," Russian SJR journalist union secretary-general Igor Yakovenko said. "The chances that it was a murder linked to the exercise of his profession are very high."
