   Romania: Mystery of a missing journalist. A newspaper in western
   Romania has appealed for international help find a reporter who went
   missing two months ago. Investigative journalist Iosif Costinas, 62,
   was last seen by a neighbor near a market in his hometown of Timisoara
   on June 10, said Laurian Ieremeiov, deputy editor of the daily
   Timisoara on August 12.
   Thr Romanian rights group Freeex,org, citing Associated Press, reported
   that police had launched an extensive search in the rivers and woods
   near the city, and an adviser to President Ion Iliescu has pledged to
   support local authorities resolve the case, Ieremeiov said. So far
   these efforts have been unsuccessful.
   On Sunday, the newspaper sent messages to Reporters Without Borders and
   to Amnesty International, asking for public support in trying to find
   the reporter. Costinas has publishes articles about sensitive subjects,
   such as the unsolved killings during the December 1989 anti-communist
   revolt and the continued presence in high positions of Securitate
   communist secret police officers.
   He was just completing a book about the shady business underworld in
   the city located near the Yugoslav and Hungarian borders. "We believe
   it very probable that his disappearance is connected to what he wrote
   and his actions as a member of civil groups trying to find out the
   truth of the revolution," Ieremeiov told AP.
