John F och Jaqueline Kennedy anländer till Dallas 22 november 1963, en timme innan mordet. (HANDOUT / TT NYHETSBYRÅN)

Tidning fick mystiskt tips 25 minuter före mordet

Bland de tusentals nya dokument som i dag släpptes om mordet på USA:s tidigare president John F Kennedy så har flera nya detaljer avslöjats om utredningen. Bland annat att brittiska Cambridge News fick ett anonymt meddelande endast 25 minuter innan skotten mot presidentens kortege avlossades.

”Ring amerikanska ambassaden i London för stora nyheter” löd tipset, skriver internationella medier. Händelsen har inte tidigare varit känd, ens på Cambridge News redaktion, säger nuvarande reportern Anna Savva till AP.

Andra nya uppgifter är bland annat att Kennedys efterträdare som president Lyndon B Johnson trodde att mordet var en hämnd för ett attentat mot Sydvietnams förste president Ngô Đình Diệm.

President John F Kennedy sköts ihjäl den 22 november 1963. Mordet klarades aldrig helt upp och teorierna om vilket motiv som låg bakom har frodats sedan dess.

The President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992, or the JFK Records Act, is a public law passed by the United States Congress, effective October 26, 1992. It directed the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) to establish a collection of records to be known as the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection. It stated that the collection shall consist of copies of all U.S. government records relating to the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy, and that they are to be housed in the NARA Archives II building in College Park, Maryland. The collection also included any materials created or made available for use by, obtained by, or otherwise came into the possession of any state or local law enforcement office that provided support or assistance or performed work in connection with a federal inquiry into the assassination.

Mordet på John F. Kennedy
Wikipedia (en)
John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, was assassinated on Friday, November 22, 1963 at 12:30 p.m. in Dallas, Texas while riding in a presidential motorcade in Dealey Plaza. Kennedy was riding with his wife Jacqueline, Texas Governor John Connally, and Connally's wife, Nellie, and was fatally shot by former U.S Marine Lee Harvey Oswald. A ten-month investigation by the Warren Commission from November 1963 to September 1964 concluded that Oswald acted alone in shooting Kennedy, and that Jack Ruby also acted alone when he killed Oswald before he could stand trial. Kennedy's death marked the fourth (following that of Lincoln, Garfield, and McKinley) and most recent assassination of an American President. Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson became President upon Kennedy's death. In contrast to the conclusions of the Warren Commission, the United States House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) concluded in 1979 that Kennedy was "probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy". The HSCA agreed with the Warren Commission that the injuries sustained by Kennedy and Connally were caused by Oswald's three rifle shots, but they also determined the existence of an additional gunshot based on analysis of an audio recording and therefore "... a high probability that two gunmen fired at [the] President." The Committee was not able to identify any individuals or groups involved with the possible conspiracy. In addition, the HSCA found that the original federal investigations were "seriously flawed" with respect to information-sharing and the possibility of conspiracy. As recommended by the HSCA, the acoustic evidence indicating conspiracy was subsequently re-examined and rejected. In light of the investigative reports determining that "reliable acoustic data do not support a conclusion that there was a second gunman," the U.S. Justice Department concluded active investigations and stated "that no persuasive evidence can be identified to support the theory of a conspiracy in ... the assassination of President Kennedy." However, Kennedy's assassination is still the subject of widespread debate and has spawned numerous conspiracy theories and alternative scenarios. Polling in 2013 showed that 60% of Americans believe that a group of conspirators was responsible for the assassination.
