The US killing team that allegedly went after a Yemeni politician<\/a> on behalf of the United Arab Emirates had a secret 23-man hit list, court documents claim.<\/p>\n The targets were said to have been handed to them by a uniformed Emirati officer as soon as they got off the plane in Yemen, a lawsuit alleges.<\/p>\n The document, described as \u201c23 cards with 23 names and faces,\u201d was allegedly handed to the assassination team overseen by ex-Special Forces commando Abraham Golan, a\u00a0mercenary allegedly\u00a0behind a botched plot to kill a member of Yemen\u2019s House of Representatives.<\/p>\n Golan\u2019s company, Spear, was hired by the UAE in 2015 for $1.5 million a month plus bonuses to kill the country\u2019s enemies, the lawsuit claims.<\/p>\n \u201cEach card contained only rudimentary intelligence about the target listed,\u201d the court paper say.<\/p>\n Spears Chief Operating Officer Issac Gilmore, a former Navy SEAL, admitted the killing team did not question the list and that some of the targets may have been people who fell out of favor with the UAE\u2019s royal family, it continued.<\/p>\n Golan had gathered his team of mostly ex-military on December 14, 2015, on the tarmac at Terterboro Airport in New Jersey, hours before they landed in Yemen, according to the suit.<\/p>\n There, Golan detailed the targeted mission they would be taking on in Yemen, the documents claim.<\/p>\n Each mercenary was told they could keep the $20,000 advance they were given if they chose not to take part in the mission. <\/p>\n \u201cNo questions asked\u201d, the lawsuit said. \u201cNone of the participants quit,\u201d it adds.<\/p>\n They then boarded a charter jet loaded with military equipment, including body armor and specialized tools to prepare blasting caps on explosives, the lawsuit claims.<\/p>\n Once in Yemen, the assassination team allegedly undertook its campaign of killings and was \u201cresponsible for several high-profile assassinations in Yemen,\u201d the lawsuit says.<\/p>\n Anssaf Ali Mayo, a member of the Yemen House of Representatives, is suing Golan, Gilmore and another member of Spear, Dale Comstock, over an botched assassination attempt on him.<\/p>\n Comstock allegedly threw an explosive into the building where they believed Mayo to be. The rep had received word moments before the explosion that his life may be in danger and had fled the scene, the suit claims.<\/p>\n The incident forced Mayo into exile in Saudi Arabia in 2016. He is seeking compensatory and punitive damages along with an order that the three men stop targeting Mayo.<\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCalifornia’s top news, sports and entertainment delivered to your inbox every day.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n California Post News<\/strong>: Facebook<\/a>, Instagram<\/a>, TikTok<\/a>, X<\/a>, YouTube<\/a>, WhatsApp<\/a>, LinkedIn<\/a>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSign up for the California Morning Report newsletter\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n
