if roth had contacted rocco for the hit, would'nt he ( roth )have had some idea of what rocco looked like and suspected something was up when rocco is at the airport trying to pass himself off as a reporter?
That is, admittedly, a decent argument. So, in this scenario, Rocco had most likely only communicated with Roth through an intermediary, perhaps Johnny Ola. Ofcourse, Roth might have not recognised Rocco at the airport as he was clearly exhausted and wasn't paying much attention to his suroundings, but that's probably a little far-fetched...
