34. I agree that 'Big News Network' is a slightly annoying source
since it's not always clear where their stories comes from. When I look at it now, I can see it's credited to UPI; I don't know if it's always said that.

But reading the article, it's clear that it really comes from the British Sunday Times. Here's their article, more or less identical apart from the "Sunday Times has learned"-type phrases: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2087-1903046,00.html

What surprises me slightly is that the name of the female Vietnamese doctor is identical to the male Vietnamese-Australian just executed in Singapore for drug trafficking. Possible, I suppose, but a strange coincidence. Can anyone Vietnamese confirm that the name is reasonable for a woman?
