The following stood out for me and has obvious relevance to this thread...
UN human rights investigators have called on the US to disclose the full facts surrounding bin Laden's death, in particular whether there had been any plan to capture him.
They said in certain exceptional cases deadly force may be used in "operations against terrorists" but "the norm should be that terrorists be dealt with as criminals, through legal processes of arrest, trial and judicially-decided punishment".
Bin Laden was unarmed when shot in the head by US commandos.
The White House's shifting story of the attack has raised doubts about US assurances that special operations forces were prepared to take him alive.
An opinion poll of more than 5,000 people surveyed in Pakistan shows that 66% of respondents do not believe that the person killed by US Special Forces was bin Laden.
The YouGov poll adds that three-quarters disapprove of the US operation and over half think it will result in "further violence against the US".
