I don't think I would call Robert Kennedy's murder part of a jihad, although I've heard numerous reasons for the murder. It strikes me as a political assassination. Other leaders have been murdered under similar circumstances - support for the enemy of the assassin. A technicality, yes, but I can assure you that I have counted how many angels can dance on the head of a pin and it's a lot.

The Munich Olympics were different. That was a planned attack carried out by a prepared group. That's also why the bombings of French and German clubs in the 1970s were omitted, as well as the mass murders in New York, London, Madrid, Czechnaya, Moscow and Bali.

Pratt's list is individuals who killed without support and preparation from an organization.

Not Sudden Jihad Syndrome (SJS).

Don't know if I'm splitting hairs here but a requirement for SJS is that the murdering Muslims kill total strangers.

Sirhan was an assassin with a specific target.
