From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yes, they did. How often is that happening? Proportion.
We're not talking about taking out former spies in foreign, sovereign nations you dolt. I used that as an example to show just how brazen and open they are about this stuff. Using such a dangerous method, on foreign soil, is basically unheard of.
If you actually want to talk about frequency, we should be looking at the defenestration cases...
This shit is happening so frequently that there are several wiki pages dedicated to listing them:

Scroll down to "see also" for a long list of related articles about the Russian government assassinating citizens and low-level bureaucrats.
In any case, the defenestrations I’ve heard of have been within Russia, not outside it.
Not unheard of. US drone strikes on US citizens is a no-less dangerous a method.
