hi so i read an article about the world's most unusual assasinations so let me drop one for you guys
The poisoned umbrella
Bulgarian dissident Georgi Markov was waiting for a bus on Waterloo Bridge on 7 September 1978 when he felt a stab in his thigh.
Mr Markov, 49, looked back to see a man with an umbrella running away and taking a taxi.
It was only later, after finishing a day's work for the BBC's Bulgarian service and having returned home to south London, that he became unwell.
Mr Markov, an opponent of Bulgaria's then-Communist government, died four days later.
He had, officials later discovered, been poisoned with ricin which appeared to have been injected into his thigh, possibly by the umbrella.
No one was ever charged with his murder, one of the most notorious of the Cold War, but Mr Markov had his own theories, telling doctors he believed the KGB had played a role in the attack.
