A Reuters employee has been suspended after sending a death threat to an
American blogger.

The message, sent from a Reuters internet account, read: "I look forward to
the day when you pigs get your throats cut."

It was sent to Charles Johnson, owner of the Little Green Footballs (LGF)
weblog, a popular site which often backs Israel and highlights jihadist
terrorist activities.

In the threat, the Reuters staff member, who has not been named, left his
email address as "zionistpig" at hotmail.com.

Reporting the message to his readers, Johnson wrote on his website: "This
particular death threat is a bit different from the run of the mill hate
mail we get around here, because an IP lookup on the sender reveals that
he/she/it was using an account at none other than Reuters News."

Speaking to Ynetnews, Johnson said: "I was surprised to receive a threat
from a Reuters IP, but only because it was so careless of this person to use
a traceable work account to do it."

He added: "I think it's more than fair to say that Reuters has a big
problem."
