Today in 1945: Mussolini executed
Edited on Fri Apr-28-06 02:40 PM by kurth
On April 28, 1945, Italian dictator Benito Mussolini and his mistress, Clara Petacci, were executed by Italian partisans as they attempted to flee the country.

Also:

On April 28, 1789, there was a mutiny on HMS Bounty as the crew of the British ship set Capt. William Bligh and 18 sailors adrift in a launch in the South Pacific.

On April 28, 1958, Vice President Nixon and his wife, Pat, began a goodwill tour of Latin America that was marred by hostile mobs in Lima, Peru, and Caracas, Venezuela.

On April 28, 1986, the Soviet Union informed the world of the nuclear disaster at Chernobyl.
