Olof Palme

It has been nearly 30 years since the 28 February 1986 murder of Olof Palme.

I gave information to the Swedish authorities in late 1986 and to the Senate Chairman of the Iran-Contra hearings in Washington D.C. the following summer. In Autumn of 1988 I was again in Stockholm and communicated with State officials about the murder. The Lockerbie bombing occurred after I left Stockholm, where on board was the deputy peace negotiator for the Iran-Iraq war.

Neither the Swedish authorities nor the United States Congress have chosen to disclose the truth.

The war against Iraq could not have been pursued had it been revealed that the U.S. was involved in the Swedish prime minister's murder, which is presumed to be the motive for the Lockerbie incident.
