This FAQ seems to have posted to his blog many weeks ago ("Merry
Christmas"), but I didn't notice until now.

Q: Are you going to tell us who killed Asmodean?
A: Mr. Jordan's books are particularly special in that they don't always
tie up every loose end, but instead leave some things for the reader to
imagine and decide for themselves. Originally, as I understand it, Mr.
Jordan was not intending to ever reveal Asmodean's killer, as he
believed that the books were explicit enough for one to figure it out on
one's own.
However, as the years progressed, Mr. Jordan evidently grew to
understand just how much this question was bothering his readers.
Recently, he had promised that he would--indeed--find a way to explain
Asmodean's death in AMoL. He left behind notes regarding this mystery,
and Harriet and I have determined a place in the book where we feel it
would work to answer this question. So, yes, I will tell you who killed
Asmodean.

So it _was_ Darth Vader after all! And all the time I thought it was the
Ewoks! But a friend had suggested Sirhan Sirhan, and someone else
believed - upon what evidence I cannot say - that it was Abraham Lincoln
himself!
