Description
English: Message from John J. MacDonald in Jerusalem, U.S. Consul in Jerusalem, to State Department:

“Regret to report Count Bernadotte and Colonel Sorot, French officer and senior United Nations observer Jerusalem, killed this afternoon at 17 hours (Jerusalem time) presumably by Stern Gang, Convoy in which he was riding was returning from Government House. As they passed through Katamon, a Jewish-held area, jeep suddenly appeared blocking route, containing four men, two of which proceeded to Count’s car.

"Colonel Frank Begley, United Nations security officer (an American citizen), grappled with one and was slightly wounded in face. Second reached Count’s car and assassinated two men at point blank range with Sten gun. Jeep succeeded in escaping. Above is preliminary report. Full report will follow.”
