[0:02] From NBC News, this is NBC Nightly News
[0:07] reported from Washington by Brian
[0:09] Williams.
[0:11] >> Good evening. An assassin has taken yet
[0:13] another world leader away from us. It
[0:16] was just after the biggest peace rally
[0:18] in Tel Aviv in many years. 100,000
[0:21] people had come out for a Saturday
[0:23] evening celebration there. As Prime
[0:25] Minister Yitsak Rabin was getting into
[0:27] his car, shots were fired. He was
[0:29] pronounced dead after surgery to save
[0:31] his life failed. Yet Rabbine was a

[1:11] eyewitness said four or five shots rang
[1:13] out and Rabbine collapsed into the arms
[1:15] of his security men. He was shot twice.
[1:17] Once in the chest, once in the back.
[1:19] >> He came down, he walked towards the car.

[1:22] shots, five shots, something like that.
[1:24] And then he like collapsed. I saw him
[1:26] collapsing.
[1:27] >> Rabbine was rushed to the hospital but
[1:29] was quickly pronounced dead.
