Summary:

In 1961, Secretary General of the UN Dag Hammarskjold died in a plane crash in Northern Rhodesia while en route to ceasefire negotiations between non-combatant UN forces and troops from the breakaway state of Katanga. What started as conspiracy theories have evolved into a growing consensus that Hammarskjold and fifteen other people were shot down, inciting the UN to reopen the case on the suspicion of assassination.
