'Russian nationalists' behind Montenegro PM assassination plot
Source: BBC
Montenegro's chief special prosecutor has said "nationalists from Russia" were behind an attempt to assassinate the PM and carry out a coup.
Milivoje Katnic said the plot involved killing pro-Western PM Milo Djukanovic with a professional long-distance sharpshooter.
The plotters are accused of planning to break into parliament and bring a pro-Russian government to power.
There is no evidence the Russian state was involved.

"We don't have any evidence that the state of Russia is involved in any sense... but we have evidence that two nationalists from Russia were organisers," Mr Katnic said.

(2,208 posts)These "nationalists from Russia" were they ethnic Russians? Or Montenegrans or Serbs? Not that matters much.
I am "SURE" they were just lone gunmen with no state ties. Uh huh.
Just like the former MARINE SNIPER who got to travel REPEATEDLY to CUBA and the SOVIET UNION during the height of the cold war, who then MARRIED a Soviet woman and was STILL allowed back into the country LEE HARVEY OSWALD -- the man who shot and killed President Kennedy -- was not CIA. No, he too was just a lone gunman.
Please, of COURSE these assassins are working for the Russian state security service, the FSB.
99% of political assassins either work directly for intelligence agencies or are manipulated by those intelligence agencies to kill. Sometimes this is an official decision by those agencies, sometimes so called "rouge elements" inside them are responsible, but political killings hardly ever occur in an actual vacuum.
JFK, Bobby Kennedy, Martin Luther King... those were not all just random assassinations. The deep state and rouge elements that hated their stance on civil rights were behind all those killings. That's how it certainly seems to me.
