10/11/2008: "Joerg Haider, Europe's most successful modern ethno-nationalist leader - killed in car crash"

Austrian far-right leader Joerg Haider was killed in a car accident early today, the national news agency APA reported.

It quoted police as saying that Haider died after suffering severe head and chest injuries when the car he was driving went out of control and rolled several times outside the southern city of Klagenfurt. APA said Haider was alone in the car.

[ Haider would have been classed by powerful enemies as "the most dangerous man in Europe". This fatality is therefore highly suspect and comes at a time when he had won a lot of power in Austria and his party was making historic advances. ]
