IHT: Shock, anger, sadness resonate in Europe, U.S. after slaying of Russian journalist
PARIS: The gunning down of a Russian investigative reporter provoked anger and shock worldwide Sunday, with widespread calls for Russian authorities to track down and prosecute the killers amid new doubts about press freedoms under President Vladimir Putin. Saturday's killing of Anna Politkovskaya, a fierce critic of Russian policy in Chechnya, in the elevator of her apartment building garnered condemnations and added another name to the growing list of journalists killed this year.
The European Union called on Russian authorities to launch "a thorough investigation" into the killing, which it described as a "heinous crime."
