Comment on How popular/important do you have to be for your death by homicide to be labeled as an "assassination"? What if the homicide is for a private matter that's separate from their importance?

I think it depends more on the intention of the murder. If the killer specifically targets a person, that’s assassination. Otherwise, it’s homicide? Maybe when it’s a specific group of people it can be called genocide instead

Unless you’re every western government, then it’s just “a conflict”.
