the robert f kennedy assassination


from google video/wikipedia: U.S. Senator Robert F. Kennedy was fatally wounded by a gunshot in Los Angeles at approximately 12:15AM on June 5, 1968, and died 26 hours later.

Sirhan Bishara Sirhan (March 19, 1944–) is the convicted assassin of United States Senator Robert F. Kennedy.The convicted assassin, 24-year-old Palestinian Sirhan Bishara Sirhan is widely thought to have been acting alone. Sirhan attributed the killing to Kennedy's support for Israel during and after the Six-Day War, although there is no record of RFK supporting Israel during that period.

On March 3, 1969, in a Los Angeles, California court, Sirhan admitted that he had killed Kennedy. Sirhan has since recanted, and as late as 1998 has sought a new trial. Various vocal critics have claimed the official account of Robert Kennedy's death is inconsistent and incomplete.
