Abdullah in 1989 (it took four tries) to Bangladesh president General Ziaur in 1981. The most recent assassination covered is that of an indicted Serbian war criminal in 2000. Includes a listing by country; and b&w illustrations of victims and assassins. Sifakis, the freelance author of The Encyclopedia of American Crime , does not endorse conspiracy theories nor the view that such murders invariably change the course of history. Annotation c.
