Death[edit]

It doesn't seem obvious to me that Salii's death was a suicide. Certainly, the NYTimes article cited as authority equivocates on this matter, and does not even mention bribery allegations (my cursory google search turned up no evidence of bribery playing a role). What's more, there is a competing theory, alluded to in the article, but also elsewhere (see here^[1] and here^[2]) that there was foul play stemming from the CFA negotiations with the US. ~wacko
