an interrogator. Usually they want everything. I made a short list of the information he gave us, because I didn't know what the calibre of firearm was at the type: He said it was a revolver 357 Magnum or 375 Magnum. I didn't know how many shots was fired. I asked him and he said there was one shot fired at the minister and one at his wife. I don't know if it was like that. I don't know, he said he was walking and it was at night. He said that the minister's wife saw the face of the shooter. I didn't advise him that the safety of the wife should be upgraded, to point it strenously, because she will be in a position to identify the shooter, that be the truth what he told me.

He asked me why a revolver was used and why that type of caliber and then why do I think only one shot was fired. I think that that is about all. Is there anything else?

Ah, ja, then he asked me what with the price of such a shooting be and I said I never keep people for the market so I don't what the price is for a president, a king or a minister. What I do know in intelligence work then, there is nobody that is going to come otherwise, because not even the Russians touch them. There's an absolut taboo on shooting kings, presidents, ministers.There is a taboo on doing that. Agents will get stuck into each other, organisations will get stuck into each other. But you don't never touch ministers and presidents, except if, you know, further up north in Africa.

Ö: What's your opinion about using this kind of a weapon?

K: Well, I would suggest that you also ask him for his notes, so that he can give it to you. This type of weapon, a revolver, doesn't throw out shells, so there is no chance to pick up for ballistic purposes. Secondly, a revolver never jams, you have six shots. Personally my jam? You have a bad magazine you have a bad feeling. The type of caliber is the second most powerfUL handgun in the world, except for that other 44 Magnum, automat. The 375 is, as far as I am concerned, the second most powerfUL. There are various types of ammunition.... and the power. I can't say if these people, you know, loaded, ja, their own ammunition, using outlaws or whatever. And I don't know what typ of revolver they used, but at a very short range, firing directly to a person, you will have massive trauma and you will have massive hemmorage. If you hit them in arm you will take them down, you can the arm off. The same with a leg. It depends of the angle and if you hit any of the bone. If you only hit tissue you might have a lot of a trauma and damage to the surrounding tissue etc. But a hit shot, a ......shot, a stomach shot usually at all stages could be fatal, all would be fatal.

I don't know why, if he fired a shot at the man's wife, I don't know, if he was a good shot, if he was in real an assassin, why miss her, maybe she wasn't on the agenda, so he kept the orders. Maybe he was not assigned to fire a further shot. Usually, if you go and you look at all your old pu. tures? and we also hated it and snipers don't
