In other words, some foreign intelligence agency could have very well assassinated her. Good luck getting to the bottom of that.
I'm kind of at a loss why there isn't some organization that offers protection to investigative journalists. They're basically fish in a barrel otherwise. Surely there's enough altruistic rich people out there to fund something like that.
Of course, when you're talking intelligence agencies, there's not much that can stop them if they're determined. Protection on that level has to be more in the form of mutual understanding.
