Unlike the zeal of foreign counterparts for orchestrating assassinations, the young hot-blooded assassins of Crna Ruka acted with the determination of "preferring death over lack of independence" and "seeking to die in battle for the country in seven lifetimes." Although not as fanatical as the Assassin Sect that relished in the use of human bombs, their actions often carried a heavy note of a "do-or-die" attack, and this time was no exception.
