Assassination Attempt On Video

From the Chicago Tribune: A man jumped on stage during a televised conference and attempted to fire a gun at point blank range at the leader of Bulgaria's ethnic Turkish party Saturday. The gun did not discharge, allowing time for the politician to knock the weapon away from his face while security guards quickly wrestled the attacker to the ground.
Ahmed Dogan, the long-time leader of the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (MRF), escaped unscathed  and it was not immediately clear why the attacker had targeted him at the party congress in downtown Sofia.
Television footage showed the man jumping out of the audience and interrupting a speech by 58-year-old Dogan, who has led the party for almost a quarter of a century. Security guards were seen beating and kicking the attacker.
"Ahmed Dogan is in good health. Everything is under control," MRF official Ceyhan Ibryamov told journalists.
Police said they had arrested a 25-year-old man from the Black Sea town of Burgas who was also carrying two knives.
The liberal MRF party represents ethnic Turks and other Muslims who make up about 12 percent of Bulgaria's 7.3 million-strong population. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/sns-rt-us-bulgaria-assaultbre90i0b6-20130119,0,178200.story
After the attempt, the supporters of the politician just beat the crap out of the offender.
