3 unusual facts about Bertil Wedin


Bertil Wedin

It is believed that, contrary to the TRC's full disclosure rule, Williamson did not reveal in his application that the purpose of this bombing was to kill the then ANC president, Oliver Tambo.

His accuser, Peter Caselton – who with eight others including Craig Williamson had applied for amnesty from South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission for the March 1982 bombing of the ANC office in London – was allegedly a member of an apartheid South Africa assassination squad.

Wedin was eventually acquitted of the offence by an English court but not before having admitted that he was working for - and being paid by - South African intelligence, and that he had been recruited by South African superspy Craig Williamson.
