"interesting new phenomenon"

I would argue, directly targeting the leaders of another state is a "interesting new phenomenon".

Sleepwalking into a dystopia that would had made Aldous Huxley and George Orwell to blush falls into the interesting arena.

Typo (not "pre"-> "after"). I am not aware of any case where a nation state openly assasinated the leader of another state in the more recent human affairs till WW2. I know of the attempts towards Castro, but apart from that?
