Funny how stuff like this is allowed into the NYT, but the idea that CIA killed JFK is totally beyond the pale. I guess that stuff only happens in third world countries. I had never heard about this suspected assassination before. It fits into JFK's battle with CIA and the assassination of Lumumba.
Release the Records on Dag Hammarskjold’s Death

LONDON — Last month, the outgoing secretary general of the United Nations, Ban Ki-moon, published a memo following up the inquiry he instigated last year into the death, nearly 55 years ago, of one of his predecessors in the role, the Swedish diplomat Dag Hammarskjold. Hammarskjold perished, along with his entourage, just after midnight on Sept. 18, 1961, when his chartered airliner crashed near Ndola, in what was then Northern Rhodesia, now Zambia.
More than half a century on, the cause of the crash remains unknown. Two recent commissions — the first of which I led, the second set up by the United Nations General Assembly in response to my commission’s findings — appear to have been stalled by a United States agency that may hold critical evidence pointing to the cause of the disaster.

Although civilians using radio equipment heard signs of an aircraft in distress, none of the three inquiries could locate an audio record from the control tower at Ndola. The most instructive recollection was that of a United States naval pilot, Cmdr. Charles Southall, who was called to the N.S.A.’s listening station in Cyprus to hear what he remembered as the cockpit transmission of a fighter pilot firing at an airliner.
There was also evidence that the N.S.A. was monitoring the airwaves in the Ndola region, almost certainly from one of two American aircraft parked on the tarmac. Our inquiry therefore asked the agency for any relevant records it held of local radio traffic before the crash. The agency replied that it had three records “responsive†to our request but that two of those were classified top secret and would not be disclosed.
