    "Fragging" is the term and has it's origins in Vietnam. It meant the use of a fragmentation grenade to kill unpopular officers and NCO's. There were about 600 reported cases with only a fraction resulting in death. Most frag cases were racially motivated. In many of the cases the attacker killed the wrong person. There were many other cases where guns, and knives were used to attack a leader. But during the war Fragging became the most common term to refer to such attacks.
