Assassination

assisté au crime, arrive au théâtre juste après, se précipite rédiger une dépêche, que l’agence envoie à tous les journaux du pays (Daily State Sentinel, NY Times, NY Tribune), qu’ils reprennent sans en changer un mot. L’Evening Star titre : « Assassination of the President ». Le NY Times y consacre sa 1ère page du 16 avril : « Notre grande perte ». 1867 : NY Herald, Joseph Burbridge McCullagh interroge le chef de l’Eglise mormone et interroge une prostituée de bordel à la suite du meurtre d’une prostituée :

while others had made pronouncements; the dollar had fallen, gold risen; strikes had crippled, and governments had vacillated between action and paralysis. But no man had been killed who warranted headlines; there was no such incident—no such assassination. Jason returned to the racks and went back further. Two weeks, twelve weeks, twenty weeks. Nearly eight months. Nothing. Then it struck him; he had gone back in time, not forward from that date six months ago. An error could be made in either direction;

office, Neidlinger coordinated the opening of branch offices in Russia’s major cities, including St. Petersburg and Moscow. Despite growth in the Russian market, senior management was not yet ready to make a large commitment. Perhaps the 1881 assassination of Alexander II, which precipitated pogroms against Russian Jewry, produced doubts about the political stability of the country. When worldwide sales began to flag in the mid-1880s, senior management invested optimistically but unsuccessfully in

That method was used by Chile and the US in the “Letelier” case, in order to determine the amount of compensation that would be paid by Chile in respect of an assassination alleged to have been carried out in Washington[46]. The process of Conciliation involves a third party investigation of the basis of the dispute and the submission of a report embodying suggestions for a settlement. Conciliation reports are

Kingdom, ETA and the IRA have for more than three decades fought intensely against the government in the name of Basque independence and Irish unity. Regionalist terrorism has not disappeared. In the recent past it went so far as to include the assassination of a representative of the French Republic. Governments must continue to pay close attention to it over the long-term. But the terrorism with which we are confronted today is the lineage of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the United

surveilled— and sometimes even executed, as in the famous cases of the Moroccan dissenter Ben Barka (Gallissot and Kergoat 1997), the ‘‘Bulgarian umbrella’’ (Kostov 1988), Russian former agent Litvinenko (Goldfarb and Litvinenko 2008), or the 1979 assassination by Khomeiny’s Iran of the Shah’s exiled nephew (Shain 1990:160). In a less spectacular manner, many non-democratic states systematically surveil and track their emigrants as a matter of ‘‘inner security’’ abroad (Cordes 1986). Here, the main governmental

upon a great Chinese military text written by a general named Sun Tzu, The Art of War. Over the centuries the ninja (word meaning 'stealers-in') trained from the cradle to the grave in every known martial art. Their forte was espionage and assassination, by any means possible. But their training also taught them to reach spiritual heights, by pushing their bodies and minds to limits far beyond that of normal human endurance. Training for a ninja began almost as soon as he could walk. Childhood

high unemployment, Thatcher's popularity declined, though economic recovery and the 1982 Falklands War brought a resurgence of support and she was re-elected in 1983. She took a hard line against trade unions, survived the Brighton hotel bombing assassination attempt and opposed the Soviet Union (her tough-talking rhetoric gained her the nickname the "Iron Lady"); she was re-elected for an unprecedented third term in 1987. The following years would prove difficult, as her Poll tax plan was largely unpopular

end of Amritsar’s sorrows, for in 1984 heavily armed Sikh separatists occupied the Golden Temple, and Indira Gandhi sent troops against them, killing many and grievously damaging the Sikhs’ most sacred temple, leading five months later to her assassination by her own Sikh bodyguards. A trainload of Muslims has been massacred by Sikhs and sent across the border, labeled “a gift to Pakistan.” This incident, modeled on an actual occurrence at the time, becomes emblematic of the vengeance being wreaked
