“Speculations would include the possibility that South African interest was behind the murder. The Palme Commission—of which Palme himself was a crucial figure—had begun a campaign against arms dealers selling to RSA.” Stieg wrote that line less than three weeks after the assassination.

Craig, who knew how interested I was in the Palme assassination, apparently thought I should do more research into South Africa’s role in the international arms trade.
