The Infernal Machine

The Infernal Machine (French: Machine Infernale) was an improvised explosive device designed by French Royalists, led by François-Joseph Carbon, to assassinate Napoleon Bonaparte, then First Consul of France, on 24 December 1800. The plot failed when the Royalist snipers meant to shoot the device once Napoleon neared it were killed by members of the Parisian Brotherhood of Assassins, and the Infernal Machine detonated early, leaving Napoleon unharmed.
