| Firm seeks Charles Taylor bounty |
| 2003-12-11 |
| Nervous, Chuck? EFL: A private UK-based military firm says it is looking for an investor to fund an operation to seize indicted former Liberian President Charles Taylor. Mr Taylor, who has been granted asylum in Nigeria, is wanted by the UN-backed court on war crimes charges. Northbridge Services Group says it has people ready to kidnap Mr Taylor to claim a $2m reward allegedly offered by the United States Congress. Lear jet S.W.A.T team On a midnight run With the M16 And the Ingram gun We parachute in We parachute out "Death from above" We’re screaming now "Any potential investors that are interested in going in together in this operation, we would be willing to split the profits," Northbridge Services Group’s director Pasquale Dipofi told the BBC’s World Today programme. "I feel that we can execute this operation gracefully and quite skilfully. I don’t believe that there will be any combat required, and I don’t believe that there would be any casualties involved," Mr Dipofi said. Where the pay is good And the risk is high It’s understood We’ll do or die Sten gun in hand Where the gun is law From Ovamboland To Nicaragua He hinted that the company already had its agents in Nigeria ready for the swoop, but refused to elaborate for reasons of "operational security". "I think we can execute this and bring Mr Taylor before the tribunal," Mr Dipofi said, adding that the company has done similar operations in the past.
