The Origin of Assassin

Assassin, or known as Hashshashin, was a secretive group that emerged in the 11th century in the regions of Persia and Syria. This group was known for its targeted political assassination tactics, particularly against enemy leaders. Founded by Hasan-i Sabbah, the group operated not only with political motives but also had ideological goals. Although their existence lasted only a few centuries, their impact was profound on Middle Eastern history, even inspiring legends that remain popular to this day.
