What is the difference between assassination and murder?
1) “Murder is the unjustified intentional killing of one human being by another. Murder is distinguished from other forms of homicide by the elements of intent and the lack of justification.” Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder 2) “Assassination is the murder of a political figure or another important individual. An added distinction between assassination and other forms of killing is that an assassin usually has an ideological or political motivation, though many assassins (especially those who are not part of an organised movement) also show elements of insanity.
