I disagree, the next paragraph says only one came close to succeeding. I think it should have said “completed” attempts at least to avoid this obvious confusion

- boomboomsubban 6y agoI also wouldn't word it that way, but it is technically correct. The four "successful" attempts all involve Mussolini in situations where slightly worse luck would have killed him, missed shots or bombs thrown and a sniper arrested just before he reached a balcony. Meanwhile there were many other plots against his life that didn't ever put him in danger.
