Former U.S. Special Forces Were Hired to Kill Yemen’s Leaders: Report

Some of America’s most highly trained soldiers have worked on mercenary missions to kill prominent clerics and Islamist political figures in the Middle East, according to a BuzzFeed News report. Some of the hitmen sent out on assassination missions are said to have included a former U.S. Green Beret, former Navy SEALs, a former worker for the CIA’s “ground branch,” and a special forces sergeant in the Maryland Army National Guard. “There was a targeted assassination program in Yemen,” said company founder Abraham Golan, who lives near Pittsburgh.
