Hypothetically speaking. I suppose it would be too early to point out that this picture looks a bit like Kurt Russell’s Snake Plissken character from Escape from New York? Hypothetically speaking.

She was officially working for the Murdoch-owned Sunday Times of London. She did apparently appear sometimes on BBC and some other nets, but she was mostly a print reporter.

Intrigued, I stopped to watch and listen.   The reporter was direct and condemning of the government of Syria.  Very direct. The next morning, NPR has the news of her death.   One would assume the Assad's government monitors Fox and also has the expertise to locate SatPhone transmissions.
