In 1975 my father, then working for the UN in Zambia, visited the spot where Dag Hammarskjöld's plane crashed outside Ndola. He talked about the crash to a worker there, Dickson Mwewa, who offered him a metal plate found buried at the site, telling him it was a piece of the crashed DC6. My father told the Swedish authorities about the plate at the time but they showed no interest. I discovered the
Dag Hammarskjöld: evidence suggests UN chief's plane was shot down
New evidence has emerged in one of the most enduring mysteries of United Nations and African history, suggesting that the plane carrying the UN secretary general Dag Hammarskjöld was shot down over Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia) 50 years ago, and the murder was covered up by British colonial authorities.

Ahmadinejad accuses US of 'orchestrating' 9/11 attacks to aid Israel
Speaking at the UN general assembly, just a few miles away from the still open wound of Ground Zero, he prompted a walkout from the chamber of delegates from the US and well as those of the UK and other European Union members. US diplomats dismissed his comments as "abhorrent and delusional". At a time when Iran is being squeezed by sanctions imposed through the UN, Ahmadinejad showed no desire to
