The Franz Ferdinand situation, as the conspiracy theory goes, wasn't really organized well either. The way the theory goes, they had an heir to the thrown that politicians around him thought was weak and not intelligent, and possibly dangerous if he took over the empire. So they sent him into danger with lax security. The assassin wasn't picked by them, they just knew that if they left an opening, someone would take it. The first attempt was actually botched in that case, but they got him on the second try. It also had the aspect of creating a potential pretext for a wider conflict.
