Writer Tom Gross has been following the saga of the death threat we received from a Reuters employee, and he has independently confirmed that Inayat Bunglawala, media secretary of the Muslim Council of Britain, works for Reuters as a senior systems engineer at their Docklands offices in East London.

Reuters “Zionist pig” death threat update.

Following the previous dispatch, Reuters employee issues “Zionist pig” death threat (May 30, 2006), several journalists have asked me to confirm that Inayat Bunglawala is an employee of Reuters. He is. Bunglawala, who also serves as media secretary of the Muslim Council of Britain, and in the past has made various anti-Semitic comments, works as a senior systems engineer in the Reuters Docklands offices in east London.

In the last two days, the influential Muslim Public Affairs Committee UK (MPACUK) has rushed to the support of Bunglawala, even though Bunglawala has strongly denied any involvement with the anonymous death threat sent from a Reuters computer to the publisher of the Little Green Footballs blog. (Bunglawala did refer to Little Green Footballs in a comment he posted under his name on the website of The Guardian newspaper a few hours before the anonymous death threat was also sent from a Reuters computer; hence some suspect him of being the sender of the anonymous threat too, or at least being near or in contact with the sender who also used a Reuters computer.)

MPACUK has in the past included images from neo-Nazi journals on its website. In August 2005, the MPACUK website featured an image of a supposedly “Jewish” monster with horns holding up the American flag. Sources tell me that the image came originally from the web site of the neo-Nazi magazine “National Journal.”

MPACUK has also vilified supporters of Israel “accusing” them of being Jewish, such as former British Labour MP Lorna Fitzsimons (who is not Jewish).

In the last year, MPACUK has also republished articles or quotes that originated from the extreme right-wing newspaper, the American Free Press, and from David Irving’s website.

Note: this is not proof that Bunglawala used our contact form to send the following message:

I look forward to the day when you pigs get your throats cut….

However, he probably knows who did.

I see from our special Reuters counter that others from that office have been visiting today. Again, I’d like to extend an invitation: please feel free to use our contact form to let us know what’s up over there in Docklands.
