bishop attacked in Turkey

Roman Catholic Bishop Luigi Padovese killed in Turkey -- stabbed.

AP has "...the pope's apostolic vicar in Anatolia, was attacked in his home in the Mediterranean port of Iskenderun" and his driver is a suspect.  When a bishop is murdered, well... that's a straight up assassination isn't it?

Possible connection to Muhammed cartoons.
