In 1968, Robert Kennedy seemed likely to follow his brother, John, into the White House. Then, on June 6, he was
assassinated - apparently by a lone gunman. But Shane O'Sullivan says he has evidence implicating three CIA agents in
the murder

At first, it seems an open-and-shut case. On June 5 1968, Robert Kennedy wins the California Democratic primary and is
set to challenge Richard Nixon for the White House. After midnight, he finishes his victory speech at the Ambassador
hotel in Los Angeles and is shaking hands with kitchen staff in a crowded pantry when 24-year-old Palestinian Sirhan
Sirhan steps down from a tray-stacker with a "sick, villainous smile" on his face and starts firing at Kennedy with an
eight-shot revolver.

Three years ago, I started writing a screenplay about the assassination of Robert Kennedy, caught up in a strange tale
of second guns and "Manchurian candidates" (as the movie termed brainwashed assassins). As I researched the case, I
uncovered new video and photographic evidence suggesting that three senior CIA operatives were behind the killing. I did
not buy the official ending that Sirhan acted alone, and started dipping into the nether-world of "assassination
research", crossing paths with David Sanchez Morales, a fearsome Yaqui Indian.
Morales was a legendary figure in CIA covert operations. According to close associate Tom Clines, if you saw Morales
walking down the street in a Latin American capital, you knew a coup was about to happen. When the subject of the
Kennedys came up in a late-night session with friends in 1973, Morales launched into a tirade that finished: "I was in
Dallas when we got the son of a bitch and I was in Los Angeles when we got the little bastard." From this line grew my
odyssey into the spook world of the 60s and the secrets behind the death of Bobby Kennedy.
