| Document:Did SA spies bomb UN boss’ plane? | Article | 17 August 2015 | De Wet Potgieter | Susan Williams writes that in this set of documents – headed ‘Top Secret’ and ‘Your Eyes Only’ – Allen Dulles, the then director of the US Central Intelligence Agency, had promised full cooperation with Operation Celeste, which had also been agreed with British intelligence agency MI6. |
| Document:UN to Probe Whether Iconic Secretary-General Was Assassinated | Article | 1 August 2016 | Colum Lynch | Susan Williams, who has studied SAIMR’s activities for years, said it would be a mistake to dismiss the papers’ authenticity out of hand. “I certainly would not discount the documents, which is why I went to so much trouble to find them,” she said. “Some of them may be what they are purported to be and some of them may not be what they are purported to be.” |
