	Great quiz! Just a minor note - Sirhan SirhaN.

	Also... Mohandas Gandhi, not Mahandas.

	I will never understand the compulsion to alphabetize by first name.

	source? I thought Felix Yusupov killed Rasputin and Talmadge Hayer killed Malcolm X. I knew those, but I got them wrong anyway.

	Khionia Guseva tried to kill Rasputin in 1914, but failed. Felix Yusupov was the leader of the successful attempt in 1916.

	@LinusLinus - Sporcle offers the ability to alphabetize the options, but because first names come first, the options are alphabetized thusly. In order to alphabetize by last name, the options would have to appear as "Last Name, First Name", which is equally as undesirable. Sorry!

	Great quiz. You've misspelled Kitchener.

	Great quiz, many thanks! I hadn't realised about Duquesne's claimed role in Kitchener's death, interesting ...

	It's rather strange to list Walther Rathenau as "German-Jewish Industrialist". He was Germany's Foreign Minister. It's what he was assassinated for.

	Source? There were many suspects in the poisoning of Litvenenko but it has never been said who was responsible. The case against Kovtun was even dropped in 2009, according to wiki.

	I'm not sure you can classify Bin Laden's death (wartime raid) or Joseph Smith's death (angry mob) or Muammar Gaddafi's death (shot while being captured in civil war) as assassinations.

	You spelled John Patler wrong

	ChileNoseJam:	May 19th, 2012 at 20:24 GMT		8 points
	Yes, bin Laden and Gaddafi were both killed in military operations - definitely not assassinations.

	buckleppin:	May 20th, 2012 at 13:21 GMT		2 points
	You have to remove Kovtun.

	sconroy93:	May 25th, 2012 at 21:16 GMT		4 points
	Another comment on Bin Laden, in the notes it says that "In the case of multiple assassins, only one is given." However SEAL Team 6 is an answer. The key word is team, meaning more than one. Unless JMan considers a team as one.

	sconroy93:	May 25th, 2012 at 21:20 GMT		4 points
	Just a side note, you could make a case for why SEAL Team 6 should be an answer. However in my opinion, unless we know who the person was who killed Bin Laden, it shouldnt be an answer.

	Contrary to popular belief, Brutus was not Caesar's only assassin. There were several senators who took turns stabbing him, but Brutus is remembered primarily because he was a good friend of Caesar.

	wakethesun:	Jun 10th, 2012 at 03:31 GMT		2 points
	Many of these are incorrect. KitchEner was not killed by Fritz Joubert Duquesne - Fritz was on the same ship as Kitchener, the one that was shot by the Germans and sank. Fritz signaling the U-Boat is a complete conspiracy theory. Joseph Smith, bin Laden, and Gaddafi don't fit the definition of an assassination, and I've never heard of them referred to as such. Caesar was killed by a group of people, the belief that Brutus is the one who killed him is completely driven by the Shakespeare play. Kovtun is one of multiple suspects in Litvinenko's death. Erwin Kern was not Rathenau's sole killer. I could go on...

	@wakethesun - In terms of multiple assassins, the game note says that only one will be listed. As for the others: I realize that there is disagreement over terminology and accountability, but the quiz is written in good faith and they should still be answerable.

	Some of these people have awesome names.
