Israel on Wednesday made public a handwritten request for clemency by
the Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann, in which the key architect of the
Holocaust protested his innocence over the mass killing of Jews. The
letter, part of a tranche of several previously unpublished documents, was released by Israeli President Reuven Rivlin to mark the International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
“There is a need to draw a line between the leaders responsible and
the people like me forced to serve as mere instruments in the hands of
the leaders,” Eichmann reportedly wrote in his final plea, adding that he was only following orders.

"It was predictable that the U.S. warship would approach the area to collect information on (our) military operations. So we warned them twice in the morning ... to keep their distance from the exercise area and keep clear of our missile range for their own safety," said Habibollah Sayyari, commander of Iran's fleet, according to media reports.
