The assassination of Ecuadorian presidential candidate Fernando Villavicencio after participating in a campaign event is the latest in a long list of assassinations or assassination attempts on political leaders. The images of Villavicencio receiving several shots that ended his life are reminiscent of the attacks against other leaders, as shown in the video that accompanies this news item.
The cameras also recorded the moment two shots killed US President John F. Kennedy as he walked the streets of Dallas, the assassination of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat during a military parade in 1981 and, recently, the death of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe during a campaign rally.
