"International hit team" arrested

Gawker:
A team of alleged mercenaries comprised of former American, German, and Polish snipers and soldiers, were arrested this week after DEA informants successfully hired the team to provide a variety of security, surveillance, and assassination work.

According to a release from the DEA, the five former soldiers — most with sniper experience — formed an "international hit team" across four continents.

The team also accepted $700,000 to assassinate a DEA special agent and an alleged confidential source in Liberia.
