Did the CIA Kill Fmr. U.N. Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjöld?
--------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is expected to propose
reopening an inquiry into allegations that former U.N. Secretary-General
Dag Hammarskjöld was assassinated by a South African paramilitary
organization supported by the CIA and British intelligence. Hammarskjöld
was the U.N.'s second secretary-general and died in a plane crash in
1961. The South African government has announced the recent discovery of
decades-old intelligence documents detailing the alleged plot. The CIA
has denied involvement.
