| This is written off the top of my head, some details may not be exact. Please add details as known. The assanation was completed by the Iranian Savak. The method was a camera that had four small gun barrels hidden within the lens. Sirhan was designated to asail Mr. Kennedy within the confines of the pantry area should Mr. Kennedy choose to exit through there. The confirmation for the hit was the presence of the photographer in the bright yellow sweater. Sirhan began to fire, was overcome as bullets sprayed about, and in doing so provided the diversion that allowed the photographer to close in and fire at point blank range with the gun/lens at the back of Mr. Kennedy's skull. The film will bear out the sequence of events, including the oddly close proximity the yellowed sweatered photographer maintained on Mr. Kennedy's flank. Additional details cannot be made available at this time, safe to say this was a failsafe operation that could have followed many paths to the same result. TT0007 | |||
