#1 If it doesn't turn out to be the CIA, I'm going to be very disappointed.

#2 There was extensive interaction between Hammarskjold and Patrice Lamumba, the erstwhile leader of the Congo. After Lamuba's assassination in late 1960, Hammarskjold was determined to investigate the forces behind his elimination.

"In 2013, the U.S. State Department admitted that President Eisenhower discussed plans at a NSC meeting on 18 August 1960 to assassinate Lumumba.[179] However, documents released in 2017 revealed that an American role in Lumumba's murder was only under consideration by the CIA.[180][181] CIA Chief Allan Dulles had allocated $100,000 to accomplish the act, but the plan was not carried out.[182]"

"John Stockwell, a CIA officer in the Congo and later a CIA station chief, wrote in 1978 that the CIA base chief in Elizabethville was in direct contact with Lumumba's killers on the night he was executed.[citation needed] Stockwell also wrote that a CIA agent had a body in the trunk of his car that they were trying dispose of.[172] Stockwell, who knew Devlin well, believed that Devlin knew more than anyone else about the murder.[173]"
