The editorial board of the "Novaya Gazeta" (New Newspaper) thinks that today's statement of the State Prosecution that the investigation has established and announced into search the killer of Anna Politkovskaya, the paper's observer, has no news.

"See what 'Novaya Gazeta' wrote last October, and you will see the same, there's no news in it," Roman Shleinov, editor of the investigations department of "Novaya Gazeta", made his comments to the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.
