re: Olof Palme
Wow, I didn’t know his assassination had never been solved!?! I remember when it happened, but then never read any follow-up in the years since. Was it definitely believed to be a political assassination and not any garden variety type of murder? I guess if someone comes up to a PM and shoots him dead it can be assumed to be political, but did they have any suspect groups or nation, etc. that might have been behind it? What motive??? Did he piss off the KGB?

“Was it definitely believed to be a political assassination?”
- There’s still a wide range of theories and speculations.
Not all of them focus on the fact that Olof Palme was PM of Sweden. One theory suggests that the assassin actually was out to kill a certain man who owned a nearby club and mistook Palme for that person (among other things because of the darkness).
