I think sometime back an interst was, on this list, about the Palme
bullet. The case continues unfathomable. Will keep posted as it progresses.
Just now planning how to invest my share of the 50 000 000 SEK away from
the reach of the notoriously greedy Swedish tax-vultures.

Olof Palme murder mystery may be solved after 20 years
By Alfred de Tavares, Indo-Asian News Service
Stockholm, Nov 22 (IANS) The 20-year old Olof Palme murder enigma may be
finally resolved. A new weapon-find, at the bottom of a lake in northern
Sweden, is expected to unravel the mystery that has baffled investigators,
and world at large, since the tragic killing of the former prime minister -
who shared a close rapport with then Indian prime minister Rajiv Gandhi - on
the night of Feb 28, 1986.
The murder of the internationally active and politically pragmatic Swedish
politician has been attributed to various major global issues of the closing
years of the past century - among them India's Bofors weapons´ bribe
scandal, the Swedish contribution towards the collapse of apartheid in South
Africa and the fate of the Kurdish aspirations in the Iran-Iraq-Turkey
triangle.
The scoop revealed Tuesday was carried out by an investigative team of
journalists of the Swedish daily Expressen.
In an exclusive interview to IANS, Olof Palme´s eldest son and spokesperson
for the family, Joakim Palme, said: "We hope that this find may finally lay
to rest the cause of my papa´s murder. I can assure you that my father would
never have done any action to harm causes he held holy in India and
elsewhere in the world".
The weapon, a Smith & Wesson magnum revolver, was recovered from a lake by
the Expressen reporter-spooks after many failed attempts by official
agencies.
The lake in question had been disclosed, as a repository of the gun, in a
death-bed confession by a notorious Swedish under-world mafia don. He had
supplied it to the perpetrator and largely helped in his escape schemes.
Expressen´s find has been handed over to the investigators and is being
analysed at the world-famous Swedish forensic unit in Linkoping, south of
Stockholm, the Swedish capital.
The verification will depend if the revolver´s firing patterns matches the
grooves in the two bullets used in the fatal assassination found by an
Indian journalist, a couple of hours later, and by a passer-by 30 hours
thereupon.
Although a hit-man, Christer Petterson, was held, tried, sentenced and
acquitted, against the sustained visual evidence of Olof Palme´s wife Lisbet
and son Marten, the Swedish police have, to date, not convinced the nation
and world that they have done their best.
Cover-up theories, conspiracy in weapons´ smuggling and socialist-nurtured
capers have been randomly used by speculators to nail this crime.
