This topic was discussed on World Have Your Say on 4 May 2011. Listen to the programme.

The death of Osama bin Laden is still the biggest talking point around the world. Lots of people have got in touch with World Have Your Say over the last couple of day celebrating bin Laden's death, saying killing him or capturing him made no difference to them they just want the threat removed.

But is it ever OK to go into someone else's country to carry out such a killing? - something former President Musharraf has also argued.


in the new Yorker questions the legality of the US action.

I'd have thought the US might have had a question or two for Bin Laden rather than going the extrajudicial killing route #justthinking

Little surprised that the extra-judicial killing of a foreign national on the soverign territory of another nation is being celebrated
