2015-10-28 PM Rabin assassination 20th anniversary

2015-10-28 PM Rabin assassination 20th anniversary
===========================
Special performance in Alexander Platz, Berlin: The cute Polish girl (forgot her name, she was a bit apprehensive, and insisted on wearing sunglasses and hoody), a leading Israeli dance performer (who chose to remain anonymous, to safeguard his blooming career), and moi...
During the assassination, one of the bodyguards was heard yelling "Blank, Blank, Blank"... Later, during the investigation, it turned out that it was the routine (as it is in the military) during no live fire drills.
Why did anybody yell that?
Was it precoordinated?
Why did the bodyguards allow a gun carrying person to hang around and talk with them, waiting to shoot the prime minister point blanks, in an area that is supposed to be "sterile" by the regulations?
Why the assassin never shot at? The routine (according to the Shin Bet head) was that the assassin was suppposed to be dead within 1.8 sec. But in this case, none of the 7 bodyguards shot him, and he remains live and well to this date...
Twenty years later, the role of the Shin Bet in the assassination remains unclear...

הזכויות לפזמון שמורות לנוער הגבעות: סרק, סרק, סרק! סרק, סרק, סרק! מי רצח את רבין? השב"כ!
* מי צעק "סרק, סרק, סרק" בזמן ההתנקשות? ולמה? האם זה היה מתואם מראש?
* מדוע נתנו שומרי ראשו של רבין לעמיר לחכות לו ליד הלימוזינה, כשכל האזור היה אמור להיות סטרילי על פי נוהלי הקבע?
* מדוע לא ירו שומרי ראשו של רבין בעמיר, שהיה אמור להיות מת תוך 1,8 שניות מרגע ששלף את האקדח על פי נוהלי הקבע?
וכו וכו... 20 שנה חלפו, ושאלות בסיסיות נותרו ללא מענה...
