People are expected to just know.
But not a word.
Silence.
Sloppy work,
terrible writing.

Is it taboo to even use the words murder or assassination in this context?
This isn’t a news article, it’s someone’s blog. They’re under no obligation to write background for the off chance that their post gets aggregated for an unfamiliar audience.

Sloppy work, terrible writing.
