Further to my comment on the 'Codshit Blog' thread:
It really is too long to post here but my recall (mentioned above) was accurate in that it connects some very disparate dots. It places the episode carefully in in the fraught context of its time: Viz ambitious US/UK/NATO plans to precipitate the fall of the Soviet Union proceeding apace, with Palme's election, following his history of aggressive neutrality, further confirmed by his blocking of a trans-shipment of Hawke missiles through Sweden, seen as seriously threatening those plans. Ola Tunander's Submarine incursions work is mentioned as are a number of other impressive sources.
Quote:Incidentally, both he and John Symonds believe that MI6 was behind the Olaf Palme assassination. As I recall he has set out evidence which I found credible when reading it some time ago. Must see if I can dig it out for the Olaf Palme thread.Here is the link to a long and fascinating article about the Palme assassination.
