Questions Raised After British Journalist Found Dead in Turkey Airport 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------


 
A British journalist has been found dead in Turkey under mysterious
circumstances, and her colleagues are calling for an international
investigation. Jacqueline Sutton, a former BBC journalist and Iraq
country director for the Institute for War and Peace Reporting, was
reportedly found dead in the bathroom at Atatürk Airport in Istanbul
over the weekend, where she was supposed to board a flight to Iraq.
Turkish media reported her death as a suicide, but her colleagues are
questioning that account. Her predecessor at the Institute for War and
Peace Reporting was killed in a car bomb attack in Iraq in May.
