"The individuals that were employed by Spear Operations Group, many of them were former U.S. Special Forces, Navy SEALs, Green Berets, who were highly trained by the U.S. government at the expense of the U.S. taxpayer. And they used their skills and the military know-how to sell essentially a killing program to the highest bidder."
"The lawsuit alleges that the UAE hired Spear to conduct a wave of assassinations targeting the gulf nation's perceived political opponents in Yemen, including Mayo."
Anssaf Ali Mayo, a Yemeni lawmaker, has filed a lawsuit in U.S. federal court against former American special forces operators for an alleged assassination attempt. The lawsuit, filed under the Alien Tort Statute, claims that the UAE hired Spear Operations Group to target political opponents in Yemen. The defendants, including former U.S. troops, are accused of war crimes and attempted extrajudicial killing. The UAE reportedly paid Spear $1.5 million monthly for these operations, raising questions about the involvement of U.S. trained personnel in foreign conflicts.
