たった今BBCニュースが報じたところでは、あのサイモン・ウィーゼンソール(ヴィーセンタール)が死去した。 享年96歳
阿修羅読者には説明不要の人物である。
まさかバスラの「自爆テロ自作自演SAS要員牢破り事件」から目をそらすために、その筋が死期を「早めた」んじゃないだろうなあ。

Nazi hunter Wiesenthal dies at 96
Simon Wiesenthal survived the Nazi death camps of World War II
Holocaust survivor and Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal has died in the Austrian capital Vienna, aged 96.
Mr Wiesenthal was credited with helping to bring more than 1,100 Nazi war criminals to justice in the decades following World War II.
His biggest disappointments were his failures to secure the capture of Gestapo chief Heinrich Muller and Auschwitz doctor Josef Mengele.
His death was announced by officials at the US-based Simon Wiesenthal Center.
Mr Wiesenthal died in his sleep at his home, according to Rabbi Marvin Hier, dean and founder of the centre.
"I think he'll be remembered as the conscience of the Holocaust," Mr Hier told the Associated Press news agency.
"In a way, he became the permanent representative of the victims of the Holocaust, determined to bring the perpetrators of the greatest crime to justice."
Mr Wiesenthal was a prisoner in the Mauthausen death camp when it was liberated by the American troops in May 1945.
"When history looks back, I want people to know the Nazis weren't able to kill millions of people and get away with it," he once said.
