On Thursday assassins tried again, spraying his car with bullets. His bodyguards returned fire and the attackers' getaway car was later found burned out with a body inside. One of Ordzhonikidze's bodyguards was also wounded and a passer-by was also hit by a stray bullet.
Ordzhonikidze is still involved in the F1 project although things have gone very quiet in recent weeks and it is increasingly unlikely that the event will ever happen.
