Could-be assassin

Here's a hypothetical for you. A man is captured and taken hostage in Iraq. Various attempts are made to recover him but then, seemingly by accident, he is found and rescued. He is welcomed home with much fanfare and is finally taken to meet the Prime Minister. The rescued hostage assassinates the Prime Minister. The rescued hostage had staged his own capture to be able to be "presented" to the Prime Minister. How's that for a hypothetical.
