Assassinated on Foreign Soil...

Has there been a situation iOTL where a national leader (Head of State and/or Head of Government) was assassinated in a foreign country?

Note, I'm excluding AD Ferdinand in Sarajevo, Bosnia was under AH control.
 
There's King Alexander I of Yugoslavia, who was assassinated in Marseilles in 1934.

Cheers,
Nigel.
 
Also, Prince Daniel of Montenegro was killed in Austria. And Simon Petliura (Ukrainian People's Republic) was killed in France, but he had outlived his state so that one probably doesn't count.

JFK in Dallas, Occupied North Mexico. :p


More seriously, some king or other must have been assassinated on campaign sometime...
 
There is couple attempts:

There was assassination attempt of Hosni Mubarak in Ethiopia on 1995.

Wasn't head of state anymore but George H.W. Bush tried assassinate in Kuwait soon after his presidency.

If the more conspiratorial minded of my Polish college friends are to be believed, basically the entire Polish leadership was taken out in Russia a few years back......

I don't really buy that, though.

But the answer to this is yes. Richard the Lionheart comes to mind.
