What matters in an assassination is the motive, not the weapon.
A murder-for-hire of a prominent politician committed by a third party with a car bomb on behalf of someone is not an assassination it was commissioned by their cheated-on spouse.
On the other hand, a politician or journalist being stabbed for political reasons is an assassination. For example, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inejiro_Asanuma https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inejiro_Asanuma.
- Fnoord 9y ago> What matters in an assassination is the motive, not the weapon. Motive isn't always clear right after the event occurred. Could very well be speculation at that point. Anyone can be a journalist btw. It isn't a protected profession with a title or degree requirement. "Professional journalism", OTOH..
