The US Central Intelligence Agency has created a new super secret paramilitary unit to target known terrorists and their leaders abroad, a US government official disclosed late on Monday. The CIA already has several paramilitary units that conduct covert operations, according to the official. But the new hit team will operate directly under the command of the agency's counter terrorism centre, the brain trust of the US-led war on terror that seeks to eradicate terrorist cells around the world. "It will really be a more counter-terrorist paramilitary force that will focus on terrorists," the official said. The number of people in the team, its weaponry and the location of its home base remain highly classified.
