Firm seeks Charles Taylor bounty
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/3309203.stm

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.

<snip>

Northbridge Services Group says it has people ready to kidnap Mr Taylor to claim a $2m reward allegedly offered by the United States Congress.

"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.


"Split the profits"? Just another day in bizarro world. I wonder if Pat Robertson wants to contribute in order to make up for all the years he supported this brutal dictator? Maybe he can get back some of that money he poured into that gold mine.

1. WTF
:wtf: The guy is already in exile. If you send a military force into the neighboring country (I believe it is either Niger or Nigeria) then it could cause instability in it.
