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 assassins hand out of the way.
Before he can attempt a second shot the unidentified suspect is tackled to the ground by security guards and delegates attending the conference in Sofia.
That's what I call a close one.

Little odd that there are no security or police on stage. Even more curious that there is no perimeter security. And even more odd that the guy is not restrained as he is taken from the palace.

I took a second look and from a better shot of it. Not a Jimenez and some are reporting it was a "gas pistol". There is some speculation over if the assassination attempt may have been staged by the politician in an attempt to gain notoriety but no evidence so far.

If it were stagged then they didn't consult with Poopin. If they had the politician would have ripped off his own shirt, karate chopped the guy in the throat, than Judo flipped him to the floor, and slit his throat with his buck knife. That's how Poopin would have stagged it. The dictator of Russia doesn't mess around...
