There is an important difference between remote assassination via a bomb, and close up killing via a gun or a knife. If you kill close up, you have a much better chance of killing your intended target without murdering innocent bystanders. In that sense, killing up close and personal, while highly questionable, is immensely preferable to remote execution.
