The Prime Minister of Slovakia, Robert Fico, has been critically injured in a deadly attack, causing shock and condemnation from countries around the world. This is not the first time a head of state has been targeted, with previous attacks on leaders like Indira Gandhi in India and Rajiv Gandhi. Indira Gandhi was shot dead by her bodyguards in 1984, while Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated by a suicide bomber in 1991 due to his involvement in sending peacekeeping forces to Sri Lanka.
In Pakistan, the Prime Minister Liaquat Ali Khan was assassinated during a rally in 1951, with the attacker strategically targeting him from a spot designated for intelligence officers. The attack on the Prime Minister of Slovakia serves as a reminder of the vulnerability of world leaders to such violent acts, prompting calls for increased security measures to protect them from potential threats.
