Famous Assassinations on the Map

Assassination is the act of killing a prominent person for either political, religious or monetary reasons. It is an act that may be done for financial gain, to avenge a grievance, from a desire to acquire fame or notoriety, or because of a military, security, insurgent or secret police group's command to carry out the homicide. Acts of assassination have been performed since ancient times.

You might get some pushback on the famous ones who aren't political assassinations, as well as Osama bin Laden. I like the format, the map is a nice touch.
