Only if they have planned an attack, are planning attack, or have committed an attack or are a national security threat.

 @9PNV5MKanswered…8mos8MO

If they are a direct threat, then yes. But this should not be used as an excuse to assassinate political entities that pose no threat outside of differing political views.

 @9PP44G7answered…8mos8MO

They should be treated the same way as people planning murders in this country. If it is safe to capture, imprison and interrogate them then that would be the better option.

 @9D8CWW5answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but only in exceptional circumstances such as those surrounding the assassination of Osama Bin-Laden.

 @B2ZQRK5answered…5 days5D

No, they should be captured and given a fair trial, because assassinations could lead to a free for all around the globe and innocent people could be caught up in the cross fire.

Even though I'm sure SIS and elements of 22 SAS Counter Revolutionary Warfare (CRW) Wing already do this it is just not made public yes, I think as long as there is evidence of terrorists in foreign countries and having ties to terrorist plots and attacks in the UK or Europe we should take action.

 @B2V28XJanswered…2wks2W

Only assassinate if there is no way of getting them out of performing a terrorist attack if they have a hostage and they want to save the hostage

Other countries should be involved in the protection of human rights in other countries, not just under threat of their own
