Yehoshua Zettler, organizer of the assassination of UN mediator and Swedish Count Bernadotte in 1948, died a few days ago at the ripe old age of 91.

Zettler was a leader of the Jewish ultra-nationalist terror group Lehi, who devised a plan to kill a newly appointed UN mediator, who had suggested that the UN assume control of Jerusalem and that Palestinian refugees be permitted to return to their homes. 

One of the Lehi leaders who approved the execution of the Bernadotte plan was future prime minister Yitzchak Shamir.  Zettler had earlier participated in the Deir Yassin slaughter, which was led by another future prime minister Menachem Begin.
