Gerald Vincent Bull (March 9, 1928 – March 22, 1990[1]) was a Canadian engineer who developed long-range artillery. He moved from project to project in his quest to economically launch a satellite using a huge artillery piece, to which end he designed the Project Babylon "supergun" for Saddam Hussein's government in Iraq.
Bull was assassinated outside his apartment in Brussels, Belgium, in March 1990.[2][3][4][5][6] His assassination is believed to be the work of the Mossad over his work for the Iraqi government.[7][8] No person has ever been charged with the murder of Bull.
