I googled it, seems legit.

‘Bin Laden should be put on trial; not in Britain, but in the place where he organised the biggest and most terrible of his massacres, New York.
‘He should be put on trial, because a trial would be the profoundest and most eloquent statement of the difference between our values and his. He wanted to kill as many innocent people as he could.
He's not wrong. Dumb maybe, but not wrong
per se.
He wasn't wrong (or right) in that statement, the objectionable part is when he said
"This was an assassination attempt, and is yet another tragedy, upon a tragedy, upon a tragedy. The World Trade Center was a tragedy, the attack on Afghanistan was a tragedy, the war in Iraq was a tragedy."
In what world aside from the far-left world of terrorist apologists is it OK to say that the killing of a murderer responsible for the deaths of 3000 people is a 'tragedy' comparable to the very act that gave him his status? It's pretty damn clear that he's not solely referring to the lack of judicial process as 'a tragedy', but the actual death of Bin Laden.
Now if this was a one-off, and he later explained himself, you could make the argument that he mispoke and it was all a misunderstanding. Yet the evidence across 30 years, of him supporting terrorists and voting against terrorist legislation, proves beyond reasonable doubt that this is not the case.
Don't forget, this is the man who calls HAMAS his friends and pays tributes to terrorists and supported the bombing campaign in Northern Ireland* yet refused to meet with the Queen until he was pressured into it by his own party, and even then he refused to kneel as tradition expects and afterwards said that there were "some things that ought to change in our society and maybe that’s one of them." So terrorism should be encourage but a display of respect for the Queen needs to be eradicated.
And that's just him. Some of the individuals he surrounds himself with are equally committed to demolishing the security of this country, like John McDonnell who wants to scrap MI5, ban police from being armed and disband the groups that target terror suspects (as well as the usual scrapping of Trident and de-funding the military).
* It can be disclosed that for seven years running, while the IRA “armed struggle” was at its height, Mr Corbyn attended and spoke at official republican commemorations to honour dead IRA terrorists, IRA “prisoners of war” and the active “soldiers of the IRA.”
The official programme for the 1988 event, held one week after the IRA murdered three British servicemen in the Netherlands, states that “force of arms is the only method capable of bringing about a free and united Socialist Ireland.” Mr Corbyn used the event to attack the Anglo-Irish Agreement, the precursor of the peace process.
