The assassination of John F Kennedy is one of the most talked about events of recent history. His unexpected murder while driving through Dealey Plaza in Dallas Texas shocked the world.

The sudden death in a bright, open public space of the 35th President of the United States John F Kennedy, and the murky circumstances surrounding the assassination and the ensuing investigation, kick started the whole modern conspiracy theory industry. Successive investigations into Kennedy’s death in the US congress, courts, newspapers, books, films, and scientific academies have not settled for the American public at least, the question of who killed JFK. An ABC TV News poll in 2003 showed that just 21% of people believed that it was only Oswald; and the History Channel reported a mere 17%. Four out of every five Americas think there was a bigger conspiracy going on.

Almost everything in relation to the Kennedy killing has been questioned at some point, and only a few hard facts remain undisputed.
