From Kennedy to Yitzhak Rabin, world leaders killed by gunfire!

But elsewhere, there is a long history of assassinations of political leaders. In the collective memory, the most famous remains that of the American president John Kennedy, who was shot dead on November 22, 1963 in Dallas, while traveling in an open limousine. His brother Bob dies the same way on June 5, 1968 in Los Angeles while celebrating his midterm election victory.

In 1995, in Tel Aviv a Jewish religious fanatic opened fire on Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin at the end of celebrations in support of the Oslo Accords, which Rabin had signed with Yasser Arafat. In 2007, Benazir Bhutto, who had been the first woman prime minister of Pakistan, was killed. The assassin shot her when she was greeting her supporters, and then blew himself up next to the political car, killing 25 other people besides her.

Jo Cox, Labor MP in Great Britain, was campaigning against Brexit when she was shot 15 times with a knife and three times with a pistol by Thomas Mair, linked to neo-Nazi and supremacist groups. In England, in October of last year, conservative lawmaker David Mess was killed with 20 stab wounds by a 26-year-old, sympathizer of the Islamic State.

Sensational and in Sweden in 1986 the murder of Prime Minister Olof Palme, shot while walking on the street with his wife, four before the referendum on replacing the Swedish krona with the euro. The world does not forget the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi with three bullets in January 1948 by a Hindu fanatic, and then also that of his daughter, Indira Gandhi in 1984, the first prime minister of independent India.

Another important figure in American politics, African-American leader Malcom X, was shot dead while attending a rally in Harlem in 1965, a week after his family had escaped a dynamite attack.
