Alija Alijagić (20 November 1896 – 8 March 1922) was a Bosnian communist and assassin known for killing Milorad Drašković, the Minister of the Interior of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes.Politika #4755: Drašković ubijen, pg. 3, 1921, accessed 29 January 2015.
The Communist Party of Yugoslavia condemned the act. Nevertheless, this inspired King Alexander to make a law concerning protection of the state that made the communist party illegal.
For the assassination, Alijagić was found guilty of murder and sentenced to death. He was hanged in Zagreb in 1922. The execution was carried out by Alois Seyfried. Several other conspirators in the assassination received prison sentences.Politika #4766: Od danas..., pg. 1, 2 August 1921, accessed 29 January 2015.
