Oddly enough, another Russian diplomat was killed yesterday. The article goes on to say he was a senior figure in the foreign ministry for Latin America.

Mystery over whether Russian diplomat really was killed hours after ambassador’s murder

The story is so odd, some are questioning whether it is really so.  Per the above, the Kremlin denies knowing of this incident.

That's why in post #1; I went with the most mainstream source I could find, MSN because it is being reported in a number of other venues with pictures. Those looked more sensational.
