Bellingcat: British Group Tracking Russian WAR Crimes in Ukraine
How Bellingcat, A British Group, is Using Social Media to Track Alleged Russian WAR Crimes in Ukraine
22 Aug 2022 60 Minutes

Bellingcat, the 'investigative' website in the news after claiming to have identified the Skripal poisoning suspects, has received mostly uncritical coverage from the media - but some independent journalists are raising questions.
The website, which bills itself as the "home of online investigations" and claims it uses "open-source" techniques to look into a "variety of subjects," has become somewhat of a media star since it was founded by Eliot Higgins in 2014.
However, praise for Bellingcat has been particularly loud since it claimed to have "conclusively" established the true identities of two Russian men, Alexander Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov, which British authorities say are linked to the Salisbury poisonings of ex-Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia back in March.
