| | Olof Palme - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Palme's subsequent 125-month tenure as Prime Minister, and his untimely death, made him the most internationally-known Swedish politician of the 20th century (with the possible exception of the two "humanitarians" Raoul Wallenberg and Dag Hammarskjöld). | | | Palme was shot twice in the stomach, his wife was shot in the back. | | | Identified by Mrs Palme as the killer, Pettersson was tried and convicted of the murder, but was later acquitted on appeal to the High Court. |

Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Olof Palme’s legacy as a gifted leader, speaker, and freedom-fighter will linger long after his unfortunate demise and likely be even larger in death than it was in life. |
