The Olof Palme Assassination (prime-minister of Sweden)

1986 on the 28th of February the then prime-minister of Sweden, Olof Palme, was assassinated on Sveavägen in the center of Stockholm. The killer was never found and the only one who was ever brought to trial for it was aquitted.

My research for an earlier article about the CIA killing of a Dr Frank Olson in 1953 has crept into my mind and when a reader of one of my articles asked me about the Palme killing, I started to connect things. Some further research and rereading of earlier material leads me to some thinking that as far as I know has never been brought to the attention of the general public or the authorities. And it fits with most of the evidence in contrast to other theories which so far always have left important questions unexplained.

The Assassination:
A short recap of established facts: Olof Palme was killed around 11.20 p.m. on the 28th of February 1986 after he and his wife Lisbeth had left a movie theatre and were walking along Sveavägen. Palme had dismissed the bodyguards from the security police, normally protecting him. Several witnesses saw one man close to the Palme couple after they heard the shot and that man was seen running away. Two suspects, known Palme haters, were found to have been acting in unusual ways in the area before and after the killing. One was arrested 8 days later, the other 3 years later. Some men with walkie-talkies and some policemen were observed acting strange and heard making suspicious comments in the area before the killing and these events were explained as ongoing secret police operations or even classified with referral to "security of the nation". Some policemen and security police (SÄPO) agents, known right-wingers or fascists were seen having a meeting shortly after the killing, in which they made Nazi salutes and toasted in champagne to the death of Palme, when the news of his death was still not publicized. One former policeman, then weapons-dealer lived in a flat along the escape route for the killer. Palme was in just over 30 days´ time to leave for a top-level meeting in Moskow where he was expected to form stronger ties to the Soviets. And Palme was , since his condemnation of the christmas bombings of Hanoi some years earlier and his friendliness with Soviet and other leaders like Gandhi and Castro, hated by Washington. A reward of 50 million Sw kronor ($5mil) was promised for info leading to the conviction of the killer. The weapon was never found, but believed to be a revolver of magnum type.

excerpt -

New Theory

One of the two "lone madmen" (or possibly someone closely resembling one of them) perpetrated the murder, organized, manipulated and backed by a combination of fascist organizations (CIA, BOSS and/or P2 and some Swedish police and security agents known for their hate towards Palme and their fascist involvement) and on order from George Bush Sr, then vice president of US. The killer was given the gun and could dispose of it with the help of the back-up team. (Possibly one of the "lone madmen" was instead used as a decoy manipulated to come under suspicion while the real hitman escaped). He was directed to the murder site by the team keeping Palme under surveillance and he was assisted when escaping.
