How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered??

Tip for best answer: M$0.00

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Webster's Online says: 1. to injure or destroy unexpectedly and treacherously 2. to murder (a usually prominent person) by sudden or secret attack often for political reasons

So, it's partly how famous they are, and partly how the attack is carried out. Sure, you could say that anyone killed suddenly was assassinated and be correct. But usually it's for a. really famous people b. sudden death c. for politifcal reasons.

i wouldnt say it was decided by importance, rather by how the killing was carried out. My opinion is that if it is carried out by a professional, who planned it all out, it was a assasination. Whereas if they were killed by a drunk guy with a gun then they were killed. Thats what i think anyway

I've always thought you have to be an important "political or cultural" figure to be assassinated. JFK, MLK, lincoln...etc. I've heard some people say tupac was assassinated, but he was just killed.
