1939 murder of Prime Minister of Romania

Armand Călinescu, the then Prime Minister of Romania, was assassinated on 21 September 1939, aged 46, in Bucharest by Iron Guard members under the direct leadership of Horia Sima. This was the culmination of several assassination attempts against him, which included an attack on the Romanian Athenaeum and bombing a bridge over the Dâmbovița River — both of which were uncovered by police.
