Department of Justice White Paper: Lawfulness of a Lethal Operation Directed Against a U.S. Citizen Who is a Senior Operational Leader of Al-Qa’ida or An Associated Force
The following is excerpted from a 2011 classified white paper, titled “Lawfulness of a Lethal Operation Directed Against a U.S. Citizen Who Is a Senior Operational Leader of al-Qaeda or an Associated Force,” that was leaked to NBC News journalist Michael Isikoff and first became public on February 5, 2013. This white paper sets forth a legal framework for considering the circumstances in which the U.S. Government could use lethal force in a foreign country outside the area of active hostilities against a U.S. citizen who is a senior operational leader of al-Qaeda or an associated force of al-Qaeda.

Excerpt:
This white paper sets forth a legal framework for considering the circumstances in
which the U.S. government could use lethal force in a foreign country outside the area of
active hostilities against a U.S. citizen who is a senior operational leader of al-Qa'ida or
an associated force 1 of al-Qa'ida-that is, an al-Qa'ida leader actively engaged in
planning operations to kill Americans. The paper does not attempt to determine the
minimum requirements necessary to render such an operation lawful; nor does it assess
what might be required to render a lethal operation against a U.S. citizen lawful in other
circumstances, including an operation against enemy forces on a traditional battlefield or
an operation against a U.S. citizen who is not a senior operational leader of such forces.
Here the Department of Justice concludes only that where the following three conditions
are met, a U.S. operation using lethal force in a foreign country against a U.S. citizen
who is a senior operational leader of al-Qa'ida or an associated force would be lawful:
(1) an informed, high-level official of the U.S. government has determined that the
targeted individual poses an imminent threat of violent attack against the United States;
(2) capture is infeasible, and the United States continues to monitor whether capture
becomes feasible; and (3) the operation would be conducted in a manner consistent with
applicable law of war principles. This conclusion is reached with recognition of the
extraordinary seriousness of a lethal operation by the United States against a U.S. citizen,
and also of the extraordinary seriousness of the threat posed by senior operational alQa'ida members and the loss of life that would result were their operations successful.
