The Palme Assassination Four Theories June 11, 2010 by Edward Jay Epstein

Theories that have been advanced  in this case include: 1.The Loner Theory. A deranged person, whether it was Christer Pettersson or another loner, seeing Palme on the street without any security, shot him and disposed of the weapon. 2. The Kurdish Theory.  Swedish police received a tip that the Kurdish organization called "PKK" organized the assassination. A number of Kurds residing in Sweden were arrested but released for lack of evidence. In 2001, after the Kurdish leader Abdullah Acalan was captured in Turkey, Swedish police investigators questioned him in prison but he denied any Kurdish involvrment.er 2008 3. The South African Connection Theory.  In 1996, Eugene de Kock, a former South African police officer, alleged to the Supreme Court in Pretoria that Palme was supporting the outlawed ANC. He testified that Craig Williamson, a former police colleague, organized the plot. The triggerman was identified as a member of an assassination squad known as Operation Longreach. Swedish police were unable to to substantiate de Kock's claims. 4. The Terrorist Theory. the Baader-Meinhof Group of Germany claimed responsibility for the assassination of Palme via an anonymous phone call.  They supposedly blamed him for the bloodshed at the West German embassy siege in Stockholm in 1975.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 if you have any comments please reply below: your email:
