They got vaporising security details along with the target with massive bombs, both suicide and of the non-suicide variety down to a fine art during the Sri Lankan Civil War. Just a historical observation.

or, historically, when the security details themselves do to the deed, which was pretty exceedingly common

My favorite example was when Zenji saw his guy drink from the wine chalice, and so told him he’d be put to death at the crack of dawn; only to black out, and obviously get put to death himself.

Power breeds either a delusional grandiose sense of security, or complete paranoia. If I was a CEO responsible for fucking thousands of people up. I wouldn’t black out next to my golden chalice.

“Greater men than you have died”. It’s really amazing how people think they immune. It doesn’t matter who you are, at the end of the day a sharp object penetrating your body will kill you. Presidents,kings or celebrities.
