Since bin Laden is not a head of state, this wouldn’t qualify as an “assassination” by the strictest definition of the term.
Neither was Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria.

OK, I guess in addition to ‘head of state’ I would also include political/government leaders. Judges,and Congressmen,and governors, etc. would be “assassination” targets.
