Alija Alijagić (20 November 1896 – 8 March 1922) was a Bosnian communist and assassin known for murdering Milorad Drašković, the Minister of the Interior of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes.[1]

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. The execution was carried out by Alois Seyfried.[2]
