I'd agree with your third point.
On your second point..okay they don't like each other pretty sure everyone involved is aware...
For the first point, that's for debate unless this dude was that much above other scientists won't he just be replaced with another scientist?
I mean if Pakistan assassinated one of our (USA#1) aerospace engineers responsible for advances to the drone program would that be fair play?
Feel like its a slippery slope, much more so then when the US assassinated the Al Quds guy (he was at least an actual military member).
