And what is the number of attempts that were carried out by airplane?


Four attempts - 3000 dead.


Those were not assassination attempts.

Bull****. Moron.
The definition of "assassination" varies among sources. The American
Heritage Dictionary defines "to assassinate" thus:

... to murder [a prominent person] by surprise attack, as for
political reasons;[6]

however, the Oxford English Dictionary's definition is:

The action of assassinating; the taking the life of any one by
treacherous violence, esp. by a hired emissary, or one who has taken
upon him to execute the deed.[7]
