Outside the US
Various figures of political import were assassinated in newly decolonised nation states by the US Deep state under the rubric of "anti-communism". Although some of these assassinations were denied at the time, this established that US political and economic interests must be heeded by the leaders of newly "independent" countries. The CIA set up Operation 40, a hit squad that was originally aimed to assassinate Fidel Castro.
