Not especially. For all its respources, the BBC can only hint at the probability that this killing was organised by the Iranian state. The network must now rely on Iranian opposition websites, which today point out the inconsistencies in the state mnedia's account of the murder. The BBC is excluded from Iran, so this is a good effort with slim resources. Correspondent Jon Leyne's comments at the end are the best part of thid broadcast.
