The term "assassination" typically refers to the targeted killing of a prominent person, often for political reasons, rather than a random act of murder. There is no specific legal "minimum office requirement," but assassinations usually involve individuals in positions of power or influence, such as politicians, military leaders, or high-profile figures. The context and motive behind the killing are crucial in distinguishing assassination from other forms of murder.
