Settling old scores

It's adding up to quite a month. In Somalia, US special forces killed a militant leader alleged to have been behind the 1998 embassy attacks in Kenya and Tanzania. Now, Indonesian police claim to have killed the alleged mastermind of the 2002 and 2005 Bali bombings. Drone attacks on militant leaders continue in Pakistan. Are we seeing an escalation in targeted killing as a tactic?
