The assassination of Folke Bernadotte

It doesn’t say it here, but the Lehi terrorist member who pulled the trigger was Yehoshua Cohen, a total thug who had taken part in previous assassinations, including Lord Moyne, the British minister of state to the Middle East, in 1944. The British captured him after Moyne’s murder, and was sent to a work colony in Africa before being released in 1948. He immediately went to work on planning the murder of Bernadotte. From pictures, Cohen looks like he could be your neighbor in Middle America. Strange, the contrast between his rabid nature and his benign appearance.
