Notes

1. Abdullah I of Jordan, who was Hussein's grandfather and the intended target of the assassination, did die as a result of the assassination.
2. Although Argov survived the attempted assassination, when he died over 20 years after the attempted assassination, his cause of death was attributed to injuries sustained during the attempted assassination. ^[38]
3. The name of the assailant has not been disclosed due to the fact that he was a minor.
