肯尼迪遇刺之谜即将披露
导读:本周四,关于肯尼迪刺杀调查的所有档案将被公之于众。这个历史谜团是否会被解开呢?
John F Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, was shot dead on 22 November 1963. He was travelling in an open-topped limousine.
The Governor of Texas John Connally, who was sitting in front of the president, was wounded but survived.
Within an hour, Dallas policeman JD Tippit was also killed. Soon afterwards, Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested.
Within 12 hours, he was charged with the killings of President Kennedy and JD Tippit.
On 24 November, Oswald was shot dead in the basement of the Dallas police department by Jack Ruby, a local nightclub owner. The shooting was captured live on television.
Ruby was convicted of killing Oswald and sentenced to death. He appealed but died of cancer in 1967, before the retrial.
A week after Kennedy was killed, President Lyndon B Johnson set up a commission to investigate the case.
The Warren Commission’s report, published in September 1964, said that:
The shots were fired from the sixth-floor window at the south-east corner of the Texas School Book Depository
The shots were fired by Lee Harvey Oswald.
There was "no evidence that either Lee Harvey Oswald or Jack Ruby was part of any conspiracy, domestic or foreign".
In 1992, a law passed by Congress meant all assassination-related records - around five million pages - were transferred to the National Archives.
Around 88% of the records are open in full; 11% are open but with "sensitive portions" removed; and 1% are withheld in full.
According to the 1992 law, all records must be published in full within 25 years, unless the president says otherwise.
The deadline is Thursday.
Toni Glover - who saw the killing aged 11 - thinks there may have been a second shooter.
Some people believe the "other" gunman fired from the "grassy knoll", which the president’s limousine passed.
Toni thinks the second shooter - if there was one - could have been on the other side of the road.
"There’s fairly substantial evidence," she says.
Jefferson Morley is a former Washington Post reporter who has written several books on the killing - including one, out this week, about former CIA counter-intelligence chief James Angleton.
"I’ve never written about a conspiracy theory," he says. "I report new facts about the assassination."
He "tends to doubt" that Oswald shot JFK. He says it’s more likely the fatal shot came from in front of Kennedy - rather than behind.
Bruce Miroglio, a lawyer from St Helena, California, has read "many thousands" of books on Kennedy and his assassination.
He does not believe there was a second gunman, is "sceptical" of conspiracy theories, and is not expecting huge revelations in Thursday’s documents.
