Yes it is, oh so you cant go after them if they try to escape and kill them?
seriosuly? thats rediculous, isn't it? Im sure the mission tells you where you can find them, it doesn't say where you have to kill them

Also, when you do find them, make sure you have 'crimes against you' turned off, otherwise the sector police will come & if they get the kill shot you don't get credit. I speak from experience. 
Ok guys thanks for the tips.
I was able to find Gen Turner once again and once again he escaped to another system, I followed bashed him some more he escaped in system but I was just about to Interdict him when I was interdicted and I lost him, he was down to 5% am I annoyed yes you could say I am a little vexed to be sure.

Just completed one of these 'Assassinate the General' missions.
A couple of observations that may be helpful.
First - my style of play is that I like to protect my ship - damage is bad for business! (I respect other people's sty of play... )
That being so, I like to play these tough characters by strafing runs, inflicting some damage with beam weapons, then retreating to allow my shields to regenerate.
So, I was rather miffed to get General <insert Russian name here> down to about 30% only to see him jump out.
I tracked him and killed him in another system, then was further miffed to find I didn't get a 'mission complete' - you HAVE to kill him in the specified system.
Then I saw someone in this thread post a warning that you should turn off 'Report Crimes against me' , otherwise the Cops jump in and might take the kill.
The penny dropped! - next time I turned OFF 'Report Crimes against me' before the battle.
I adopted my strafing tactics and the General NEVER JUMPED; I was able to whittle him to death
I think it may have been the cops jumping in that was scaring him off....?
Can't confirm this though, only an observation
Comments, anyone.....?
