Perhaps there could be a 'target' field for the table? This would be especially useful for detailling assassinations, but I can see layout issues with the table becoming overly large. Comments? James D. Forrester 02:21 May 13, 2003 (UTC)

How about two separate tables, one for assassination attempts and the other for untargeted bombs?
Sounds goods to me.

I'd disagree about putting location before target for assassinations, as, well, the 'important' part is the person, not where it occured. Also, locations should always specify the country, shouldn't they? Quite apart from anything else, specifying Beirut being in Lebannon, but not doing so for other countries makes it look like the only reason this policy is being implemented is to make exactly 2 location links for each event...

The reason the location comes first is so the second table looks like the first table. I took the countries out because the table was getting too wide. Chadloder 03:31 May 13, 2003 (UTC)

The King David Hotel was not a car bombing. The explosives were hidden in milk cans that were placed in the basement of the hotel. They were delivered by truck. Danny

Yes, you're right. Chadloder 03:31 May 13, 2003 (UTC)
