| Never knew there had been an assassination attempt on Bush - only got it by typing in Saakashvili (after Shevernadze hadn't worked).
Great quiz - you could even extend it somewhat with:
Robert Damiens, Versailles, 1757 (Louis XV),
Marita Lorenz, Havana?, 1960 (Fidel Castro) (I think Bobby Kennedy or Sam Giacana is a step too far!),
Sam Byck, White House Washington DC, 1974 (Richard Nixon) (though admittedly he didn't get anywhere nearer to Nixon than Baltimore Airport),
Patrick Magee, Grand Hotel Brighton, 1984 (Margaret Thatcher)
or Karst Tates, Apeldoorn Netherlands, 2009 (Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands) |
