He is one of only a few people that was in the area at the time of the slaying, Yale University said, though police say dozens of people had access to the area. source

  • “Jailed Newsweek reporter Maziar Bahari” • In a confession published by Iran’s semi-official Fars News Agency. He also admitted filing false reports during the elections, a claim the people who sign his paycheck deny.
