9. John F Kennedy : President of the United States of American who was assasinated by Lee Harvey Oswald who was in turn assasinated by another man two days later. JFK had previously survived another assasination attempt before being killed by a bullet.
8. Tsar Nicholas II : King of Russia during World War One but abdicated during the rise of the Bolshevik rebellion (and communism with it.)

7. Martin Luther King Jnr : This black preacher and activist spoke out against racial inequality and in doing so stirred the convictions of many and the hatred of others. He was assasinated by James Earl Ray and the whole world mourned his death.

Some Israeli’s thought the peace process was moving too far to quickly. Journalist Michael Drosnin says that his death was predicted by an ancient code hidden in the Bible, and that he tried to warn him. He was murdered by Yigal Amir .
