OT

There is certainly precedent for that, i.e. the Nurenburg trials after WWII. But those were different times. If he were tried in the Hague as war criminal guilty of crimes against humanity, he could be convicted and imprisoned like some of the butchers from the Balkans conflicts. Death penalty, alhthough certainly deserved, would I think be unlikely to come from an international tribunal. One can only imagine the trouble that would come from such a trial, even without the death penalty. I expect most world leaders would prefer that he simply turn up KIA or even better, "MIA."

ry, they ought to put him in a holding cell with 6 relatives of victims. Those relatives will all be searched for weapons before entering the cell, though they will be allowed to carry box cutters.

I always wondered what would they do with Bin Laden if they did capture him.

Me, too. If he is imprisoned, one of his associates will inevitably grab hostages and try to trade for his release. Not a workable solution.
