Wait. What?
Did this really happen somewhere? (Sorry for the question if it's stupid, I just was unaware of all of this.)
It was in Eastern Europe. I was about 15 at the time based on remembering the friend I called after it happened. Assassinations were pretty common, granted not using bombs like that especially in a busy residential area.
> was in Eastern Europe.
ah.
Killing a billionaire or a politician it's hard and risky but that only increases the price. Boom or bust
I mean, what city? and when?
I'd just like to read about what happened.
Almost certain that there's a market: want X killed? It will cost you this much.
The amazing thing is nobody got killed, many people in the surrounding apartment were lucky, or not home. Even the banker was not killed.
You could fill pages with such things in a place like Mexico...
Some examples from a quick search and mainly focused on bankers -- if expand it to business magnates in general, there are tons of such cases...
