Also, given the terrain in Afghanistan, it's easy to be protected from bombs. You just need to dig yourself in and you're safe (unless they use nukes or neutrons).
So, assassination is by far much more cleaner and reliable than smart weaponry. Of course, it all depends on the objective. If we are taking about an entire training camp, then yes, a bomb is more effective. However, if we are talking about one single individual that's well protected, use a scope mounted on a USSR made sniper riffle to do the job!

Hmmm...I was thinking more of missile than bomb. They have two distinct deployment uses. Unless it is an ICBM lol. But with the use of LOS support (I worked with some of these guys in the Army, their job is extremely dangerous) for guided missiles one can take out an entire camp. Yeah I see your point, firing a missle at Binny's head could be called "overkill". But I think hes asked for it.
