Definition

How can assassination be described as "people calling it an extra-judicial killing that lacks due process". Assassination is by any definition illegal, it isn't exactly an extreme interpretation to describe it as "extra-judiacial", in fact that is a euphemism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.197.15.138 (talk • contribs) 07:01, 12 June 2012‎

An assassination is a killing, but it may not be murder

Black's Law Dictionary uses killing, because an assassination may or may not be murder -- it depends on the jurisdiction. For example Georgi Markov (1929–1978) was murdered under English law, but Eastern Communist governments allegedly responsible for the assassination would not have seen the assassins as murderers and certainly would not have extradited them for trial in an English court. It is not just old Communist governments who behave like this, see for example the French Government and its lenient treatment of its agents who bombed the Rainbow Warrior (1985). It is inconceivable that even in Pakistan found the killing of Osama bin Laden to be murder, that the US would turn any member of its special forces over to stand trial in Pakistan. Therefore killing is a more accurate and neutral word for the act of assassination. -- PBS (talk) 15:47, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
