The interior problem conjecture for the Radon transform

Let DD be an open, bounded, convex domain in the plane and let KK be a closed subset of DD. For fCc(D)f\in C_c^{\infty}(\overline D), write

Rf(L)=Lfdx\mathcal R f(L)=\int_L f\,dx

for its Radon transform on a line LL.

Interior problem conjecture. There exists a function fCc(D)f\in C_c^{\infty}(\overline D), not identically zero in KK, such that Rf(L)\mathcal R f(L) vanishes for every line LL that intersects KK.

The assertion is known for disks and ellipses by the Abel-integral argument and affine invariance. The supplied text says that it is not known for arbitrary bounded convex domains.
