Super short version from Wiki:

On 4 December 1981 President Ronald Reagan signed Executive Order 12333, an Executive Order intended to extend powers and responsibilities of US intelligence agencies and direct the leaders of U.S. federal agencies to co-operate fully with CIA requests for information.[1] This executive order was entitled United States Intelligence Activities.

One of the clauses of this executive order reiterates a proscription on US intelligence agencies sponsoring or carrying out an assassination. As early as 1998 this proscription against assassination was reinterpreted, and relaxed, for targets who are classified by the United States as connected to terrorism.
