There are many ways to kill someone. Humans have been killing one another since the very first of us walked the planet and over the millennia, we have gotten quite good at it.

Whether we are talking about the attempted assassination of Viktor Yushchenko or the successful assassination of Alexander Litvinenko, such acts become news fodder very quickly. So unless the person giving the order wants to send a clear message, either to his intended victim or to anyone else, the methods employed tend to allow them deniability.
