Ahn Doo-hee (alternative spelling: Ahn Doo-whi) (1917-23 October 1996) carried out the assassination of nationalist Korean leader Kim Gu on June 26, 1949. Officially, it is maintained that Ahn Doo-hee acted alone, although some have theorized that Ahn was part of a broader conspiracy. The existence of a conspiracy, however, is not directly supported by verifiable evidence. Ahn died at the hands of a follower of Kim Gu in 1996.
