Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme was assassinated on a Stockholm street in 1986.

 

(CNN)Sweden has named a new chief prosecutor to lead the inquiry into the 1986 unsolved murder of the country's then-Prime Minister Olof Palme.

 

Palme was gunned down as he took a late-night walk after visiting a local cinema with his wife, Lisbet on February 28, 1986. Despite eyewitness accounts and numerous leads over the last three decades, the identity of the killer remains a mystery.

 

Now Krister Petersson, Stockholm's chief prosecutor, has been brought in to oversee the case. He's set to begin on February 1, according to the Swedish Prosecution Service.

 

"I feel honored and I accept the mission with a great amount of energy," Petersson said in a statement reported by local media. "It is an interesting and important task."

I happened 30 years ago. Most of the witnesses and maybe the gunman has died in the meantime but would be good to know what happened. Same in Kennedy murder case... and WTC Towers..... and .....
I am afraid I will not live enough long to know the truth in these cases....

Sure, it would be good to know more about the Kennedy assassination and 9/11.

But Olof Palme?

As Bernard Trink used to say at the end of his Night Owl columns: "...but I don't give a hoot."

That's probably true, his family, and only his family.

Nobody else would give a damn after all these years.

We will know (more) next year.

 

" Here is what is known about seven key JFK files — containing more than 3,000 pages of material — that the CIA is still keeping out of public view until October 2017. "

Waiting for Kissinger to kick the bucket first, you have to wonder!

[TooPoopedToPop]

Did Olof Palme do something to displease the CIA, Mossad, the Russkies, or some other evil entity?

Cui bono... the question famously posed by Cicero is relevant here.

Then again, it may have been a personal grudge.
