Hmm, somewhat timely with the 100th anniversary of the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand coming up in a couple of months. The Black Hand was the name of the group that Gavrilo Princip, the successful assassin of the day, was a member of.
A previous attempt earlier in the day to blow the archduke up with a grenade failed, yet he pressed on. Gavrilo missed his first attempt because the crowds kept him from getting close, but managed to get his fatal shot in when the archduke’s driver later got lost and stopped the car right in front of him to make a U-turn.
I guess you can say that it was not a good day for the archduke.
