More than 100 people have answered a new police appeal for leads into the murder of Swedish prime minister Olof Palme 27 years ago, the Swedish TT news agency reported Saturday.
The police on Thursday, the anniversary of the premier's death, opened a telephone line for information about the case, prompting dozens to come forward, some for the first time, the news agency said.
The officer in charge of the case, Dag Andersson, said "some of these testimonies are interesting" for the investigation, according to TT.

(50,254 posts)Olaf Palme is one of the great social democrats of our time, and he didn't confine himself to social justice for his OWN country.
He was in internationalist in the truest sense. There was also a conference hall named for him in Nicaragua during the first Sandinista era.

We fought against the people there who wanted freedom from corporate American imperialism.
