Which part of the international law was the legal basis for this operation?
That's a good one.
You may find this funny. But if the killing of Osama bin Laden was illegal according to international law, the U.S. will lose a lot of their moral authority.
We hear that he was unarmed. International law demands that if he's a combattant, he must be captured as POW. If he's a civilian, there's no legal basis for killing him either.
If there's no legal basis for this, then the message is: "There are no rules. Do what you want. The strongest will survive."
