political assassinations  

Definición

  • Political assassinations, which result in the murder of the intended victim, are often motivated by political, ideological, or financial gain; fame or notoriety; and/or serious mental illness. Although political assassinations take place in democracies, they are more common in dictatorships, yet they may not receive the same volume of media coverage by the Western press.
