The SAS, Delta and many SEAL units will be capable of this job, working along with the "Christians In Action". Put them in civvies with long hair and civilian cover, and let them loose. Let them track down and kill anyone even peripherally involved with any named terrorist units, worldwide, any time they can be gotten. No trial, no arrest, just .22LR or 7.62mm justice meted out on the streets of Copenhagen, Rome, or Manila.

Good idea. I'd go a step further and put them in those long robes that women have to wear. You can conceal an automatic weapon under those shawls, or whatever you call them. But you are right, we need to give our troops the authority to just take them out. No prisoners.

Sayeret Duvdevan (Unit 217) is reported to do just that on behalf of Israel in the "occupied" territories. The "Phoenix" program in SEA reportedly utilized operators who dressed as VC, carried Soviet/Chinese weapons, and generally appeared to be locals in all senses. A worldwide covert program comparable to that perpetrated by the Israelis following Munich is needed, but so are evident strikes at bases, depots, and other targets of opportunity. Saddam Hussein should be scared.
