Heartstopping moment would-be assassin aims gun at Bulgarian opposition leader's head and pulls the trigger... but victim survives after weapon misfires

Weapon fails to fire allowing Mr Dogan time to escape
Security guards and politicians kick and beat attacker to the ground

By Richard Hartley-parkinson

PUBLISHE 14:48, 19 January 2013 | UPDATE 18:46, 19 January 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 assassin's hand out of the way.

Before he could attempt a second shot the unidentified suspect was 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.

A separate group surrounded a shocked Mr Dogan in a protective shield.

Politicians then appeared from the audience and begin rained blows on the suspect as he was pinned to the ground.

He was later pictured being taken away by police bloodied and bruised.

'Ahmed Dogan is in good health. Everything is under control,' Movement for Rights and Freedoms official Ceyhan Ibryamov told journalists.

Police said they arrested a 25-year-old man from the Black Sea town of Burgas who was also carrying two knives.

The liberal MRF party represents ethnic Turks and other Muslims who make up about 12 per cent of Bulgaria's 7.3 million-strong population.

Dogan is seen as one of Balkan country's most influential political figures.

Two years ago he was acquitted after a high-profile corruption trial into payments he received as a consultant for a hydro power project.

The MRF was a junior partner in the previous Socialist-led cabinet before switching to the opposition following the 2009 elections.

In 1996, former Prime Minister Andrei Lukanov was found shot dead near his home in Sofia, though attacks on politicians are rare.

The video's up on the Daily Mail article if you click the link in the OP in any case

Crazy moment when the gunman realises he's failed and just stares at him not knowing what the hell to do, you can kind of understand the people who start attacking him, if he'd had his way a few seconds earlier they would all have just seen their party leader and presumably close colleague have his brains blown out

So turns out he wasn't actually trying to kill him and it was only a gas pistol which'd have caused no or minimum harm, just did it to show the guy he wasn't untouchable apparently

..I thought it said that it would still cause serious harm at close range though Matt...I have to say watching the vid, that he didn't look very 'committed' but he did pull the trigger didn't he..?...

Oh I was just going by today's Telegraph article which said:

Quote:
At the time the attack was thought to be a failed assassination attempt but Bulgarian police have now said Mr Enimehmedov had wielded a gas pistol, which would have caused little or no injury if it had been fired.

But it does also say:

Quote:
Lyutvi Metsan, the new DPS leader, challenged the official version of events calling them an "outrageous attempt to replace the truth".

He added that Mr Dogan had spoken to his attacker "and the latter had told him he wanted to shoot and kill him."
So not sure really, if it was just a publicity stunt it's quite a bizarre one and doesn't really seem worth it

Not exactly the worlds best Hitman, I mean think about it... First of all don't use a real gun use a gas gun, secondly make sure it hasn't been cleaned or tested. Then choose a really discreet place to kill him , then make sure you have no backup weapons should you need them. Hmmmm.... Don't give up the day job cos you make a lousy Hitman !!
