Documents reveal death threats to Edward Kennedy

Former US senator Edward M. Kennedy became a magnet for extremist rage in the decades after his brothers were gunned down, living under constant, chillingly specific assassination threats targeting him, according to newly released FBI documents.

Five years after President John F. Kennedy was killed and shortly after Senator Robert F. Kennedy was shot, one letter warned that the third brother was next: "Ted Kennedy number three to be assassinated on October 25, 1968. The Kennedy residence must be well protected on that date."
