Journalist Terence Smith on his encounter with Sirhan Sirhan's father
CBSN
Former "Sunday Morning" correspondent Terence Smith is out with a new memoir: "Four Wars, Five Presidents," which includes a story about an encounter with the father of convicted assassin Sirhan Sirhan, whose recent bid for parole was denied by California Governor Gavin Newsom. Smith shares his thoughts:
When Robert Kennedy was shot in Los Angeles on June 5, 1968, I was thousands of miles away in Jerusalem, Israel, as a correspondent for The New York Times. I quickly learned that the shooter's father, Sirhan Sirhan Sr., lived in a small village in the West Bank.
