Man Aims Gun At Bulgarian Politician At A News Conference by Siga: 4:49pm On Jan 19, 2013














A Bulgarian politician today survived an extraordinary assassination attempt when a man stormed the stage and held a gun to his head as he was giving a speech.

Fortunately for Ahmed Dogan, leader of the Movement for Rights and Freedoms, the weapon misfired giving him time to react and hit the would-be assassins hand out of the way.

Before he can attempt a second shot the unidentified suspect is tackled to the ground by security guards and delegates attending the conference in 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.

In a split second, he raises the gun to Mr Dogan's head but it appeared to misfire.

The politician then knocked the gun away and fell to the floor as he attempted to flee.

Security guards and delegates rushed onto the stage where they wrestled the attacker to the ground.

What a lucky man he is...... Mr. Dogan should thank his God....
BTW.... Just thinking...... Why would an assassin's weapon just misfire @ such a crucial time!?..... He could have easily taken down that politician with a Knife or something.......and he wasn't wearing a mask or something...... How did he get past the security!!??
It's either The assailant has a personal beef with dogan or he might have been paid by mr. Dogan to act or something.....

That Political leader must be a brave and smart man, his immediate response of hitting the attackers hand and not a fearful response of begging or crying or running was his life saver.

I don't know why this looks so much like a set-up to me. It doesn't just add-up for some weird reason. I mean why close range without a mask when there are snipers
Re: Man Aims Gun At Bulgarian Politician At A News Conference by TableLeg(m): 11:48am On Jan 20, 2013
Dude had enough time to smoke the politician up but i guess he just didn't have the balls to pull the trigger or he just wanted to make a mockery of the security or maybe get locked up somewhere!

Re: Man Aims Gun At Bulgarian Politician At A News Conference by Nobody: 11:58am On Jan 20, 2013
Whoever's behind this is sending a strong message to this man.

If he had pulled that trigger, he would have fatally wounded (if not kill) the politician.

Really Weird. I hope we won't be seeing this in Nigeria come 2015.
