If I understand correctly, are you and Pete suggesting that Michael might actually have hired the two gunmen to shoot into his own bedroom, as a pretext by which to go to war with Hyman Roth? I just don't see how that could be credible.
It wouldn't necessarily be that way. Michael could simply have arranged for Fredo to "bump into" Johnny Ola in Berverly Hills and then monitored things as Ola and Roth worked on Fredo (edit: so Roth and Ola would have arranged for the shooters). To that I should add that I think pretty firmly that the dominant story line of the film is the Michael-Fredo story, so if this would be a pretext it would be designed to catch Fredo in disloyalty so that he could be killed. Obviously, under this scenario Michael is more or less a psychopath.
