These guys would be hard-core, extreme killers. Snipers, assaulters, demolitions, the whole gambit.
We would never know about them. They would leave no calling card. We would not parade them as heroes, nor mention thier existence. If caught, we would deny everything.
And they would be well funded. Very well compensated.

We have this in the US... it's called the CIA. Field agents are often ex-military personnel highly skilled in specializations such as weapons, stealth, demo, etc. While their used to be more public use of them to assassinate foreign dignitaries, global "laws" stopped that. However, to assume that they do NOT still have such missions is ignorant. They have access to MUCH international intelligence. They also have personnel in place that DO monitor and "veto" or give the go-ahead to various tasks and operations. Agents in many positions are denied acknowledgement if caught. Also, they ARE well funded.
