Comments:
Olof Palma (1927-1986), served twice as prime minister of Sweden. He was murdered while walking with his wife in the streets of Stockholm. Apparently the killer was a gun enthusiast who hated Palma, but speculations have been made that the murder was carried out by elements from Iran or South Africa mainly because of Palma’s harsh statements against the regimes in these countries.
