In his book ''Chasing Shadows'' (Palgrave Macmillan), [[Fred Burton (security expert)|Fred Burton]], former deputy chief of the counterterrorism division of the [[U.S. State Department]]'s [[Diplomatic Security Service]] and vice-president of the private intelligence and consulting firm [[Stratfor]], concluded after a lengthy investigation that Alon's killer was an agent from Black September who was killed by [[Mossad]] in 2011.<ref name=arutz>{{cite news |url=https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/148704#.UsZhyvRDsjo |title=Was Alon Killed Because He 'Knew Too Much?' |date=December 10, 2011 |work=Israel National News |first=David |last=Lev |access-date=December 29, 2021 }}</ref>
The documentary film ''Who Shot My Father? The Story of Joe Alon'' by Liora Amir Barmatz aired on the [[Channel 1 (Israel)|First Channel]] in Israel in April 2011. The historian [[Uri Milstein]] and Colonel [[Yakov Agassi]] presented a theory which said that Alon had been assassinated because he unwillingly learned about the conspiracy theory (the ''Kissinger plan'') for the [[Yom Kippur War]], which involved collusion between the US, Israel, and Egypt and was designed to allow entry for the US into the region as a "savior" (and future power broker) for both Israel and Egypt by stopping the fighting after previously agreed-upon objectives had been achieved.{{citation needed|date=January 2022}} [[Ezer Weizman]] claimed that "Jo was killed because he knew something he should not know about." The film also claimed that general [[Shmuel Gonen]] had said to journalist [[Adam Baruch]], who wrote in his book that he was killed "by one of our own" because he knew something he should not know about. Professor [[Uri Bar-Joseph|Uri Bar Joseph]] has rejected the theory and the findings.<ref>{{Cite news |date= April 12, 2011 |title= מה שאסור לערוץ ממלכתי |lang=he |newspaper= Haaretz |url= https://www.haaretz.co.il/opinions/1.1170857|access-date= July 15, 2019}}</ref>
