Agencies US sets up secret commando force to hunt down Osama, Saddam By Thom Shanker and Eric Schmitt Washington: The top American military command- er for the Middle East has created a covert commando force to hunt Sad- dam Hussein, Osama bin Laden and key terrorists Saddam throughout the re- gion, according to Pentagon and military officials. The new Special Operations or- ganisation is designed to act with greater speed on intelligence tips about “high-value targets” and not be contained within the borders where American conventional forces are operating in Iraq and Afghanistan. Gen. John P. Abizaid, who com- mands all American forces in the strategic crescent from the Red Sea to the Indian Ocean, decided over the summer to disband two Special Operations missions, Task Force 5 in Afghanistan and Task Force 20 in Iraq, officials said. Military officers say a broader, regional mission was given to the new force, which has become one of the Pentagon’s most highly classi- fied and closely watched opera- tions. Much about the force, which is commanded by an Air Force brigadier general, remains classi- fied, and Pentagon officials declined to discuss the rules under which the new force operates throughout the region or whether its would require thepermission of a foreign government to operate in its territory. Military officers say that focus- ing the intelligence, and the Special Operations firepower, within one organisation, called Task Force 121, streamlines the effort to use infor- mation on these targets and mount an attack.
