America’s National Security Agency may hold crucial evidence about one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of the Cold War—the cause of the 1961 plane crash which killed United Nations Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjöld, a commission which reviewed the case said Monday.

Widely considered the U.N.’s most effective chief, Hammarskjöld died as he was attempting to bring peace to the newly independent Congo. The crash of his DC-6 aircraft in the forest near Ndola Airport in modern-day Zambia has bred a rash of conspiracy theories, many centering on some startling inconsistencies. …

And if this doesn’t distract — then they’ll try this Nov 50th anniversary of JFK death to reveal some tantalizing bits and pieces.

This smells like leftist attempts to blame the US or the right wing for the death of the UN Secretary General.

They have to rewrite history all the time like the Kennedy Assassination always has to be a right wing conspiracy.

Lee Oswald was a kook and a left wing one at that who defected to the USSR, then came back to the US and started working in the Pro-Castro movement.

He was communicating with the Cuban Embassy in Mexico right before the assassination.

I don’t think there was even a commie conspiracy to kill JFK, just the work of a vain and egotistical nut who just happened to have been a trained marksman.

“Of three documents or records which appear to respond to our request, two are classified top secret on national security grounds,” he said. The report went on to cite an expert at the archive as saying it was extremely rare for intelligence intercepts to be made public.

I remember the big to-do when this happened. After a month it was a pimple on the ass of time to most every average citizen and after that only to stamp collectors when they issued a stamp honoring him.

If he was the most effective head of the UN then that says little for all of the wasted US dollars spent on this POS organization.
