Stockholm - A long-awaited report on the fate of the Swedish diplomat, Raoul Wallenberg, who saved thousands of Jews during the second World War, has failed to clear up the mystery over his fate and prompted Sweden to admit it did not do enough to win his release from the Soviets.
A Swedish-Russian working group concluded that Wallenberg, who vanished after being summoned to Soviet military occupation headquarters in Budapest in 1945, may not have been killed by the KGB in 1947 as Moscow has claimed but rather kept alive as a possible bargaining chip.
The Swedish Prime Minister, Mr Goeran Persson, said that "as long as there is no unequivocal evidence of what happened to Wallenberg - and this is still the case - it cannot be said that Raoul Wallenberg is dead".
