[Editor's Note: If you are viewing this on our homepage, the "Neda" video, the 40-second clip of the death of a young woman killed by deliberate Basiji gunfire, is the first video on the full page after the "More" tag. We have only posted this video, as well as other images of death, after great deliberation. It is posted in the belief that Neda's killing may become a symbol for the Iranian political movement and demonstrations; we in no way wish to sensationalise the event.]

UPDATED Iran: Who Was "Neda"? "A Beam of Light"

Iran: Who Was "Neda"?

NEDA2UPDATE 1115 GMT: We are posting the video of Al Jazeera's interview with Neda Agha Soltan's fiancee, Caspian Makan.

After we posted our profile yesterday of Neda Agha Sultan, the young woman killed on Saturday by a paramilitary Basij and now a symbol for the Iranian protest movement, Borzos Daraghi of The Los Angeles Times offered details.

Neda was 26, the daughter of a Government worker and a housewife. The second of three children, she was studying Islamic philosophy, but her hope was to become a tour guide. She was taking Turkish-language courses and visited Turkey for the first time two months ago. She loved music, especially Persion pop; she was an excellent singer and was pursuing piano classes.

According to friends, Neda was far from a revolutionary. She believed in the Islamic system of Iran; however, she was angered by the outcome of the Presidential protest. So, against the advice of her friends, she attended demonstrations. Last Saturday, her group was stuck in traffic east of Azadi Square on Karegar Street, where security forces were trying to disperse marchers. They got out of the car to walk around. Moments later, after being seen on film walking with a man in a blue shirt (now said to be her music teacher), Neda was struck by a single bullet.

Who was Neda? The music teacher said on Sunday, "She was a person full of joy. She was a beam of light."
