History shows that political violence tends to snowball - and quickly.

The day a prominent figure is killed - and if the perpetrators are not searched out and vigorously prosecuted, and their sympathizers not kept a close eye on - it's almost always followed by more and more.

And evenutually, the extremists start going after 'soft' targets - not just political figures.
